Predictive Accuracy of the 3-m Backward Walk Test for Fall Risk in Older Adults
Falls are a leading cause of injury in older adults, and accurate tools to predict fall risk are essential. This study evaluates the predictive accuracy of the 3-m Backward Walk Test (3 MBWT) for fall risk, comparing it with the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), 10-m walk test (10 MWT), and fall-r...

Association Between Multidimensional Frailty and Postoperative Outcomes in Older Patients With Hip Fracture: A Scoping Review
Hip fractures represent a common injury resulting from falls among older adults, significantly impairing their mobility and independence in daily activities, and substantially increasing mortality risk. Recent research has demonstrated that frailty is closely associated with postoperative adverse outcomes ...

A Multi-Outcome Prognostic Model for Community-Dwelling Older Adults Admitted to Skilled Nursing Facilities for Post-Acute Care
Nearly 20% of hospitalized older adults are discharged to a skilled nursing facility (SNF) for short-term rehabilitation. Many subsequently experience adverse outcomes, such as hospital readmissions, transitioning to long-term care rather than returning home, or death. To guide shared decision making, we d...

Developing and Implementing an Intervention to Increase Immunization Coverage Among Frontline Long-Term Care Staff
In the years following the COVID-19 pandemic, immunization coverage has declined among frontline post-acute and long-term care (PALTC) staff, such as nurses, certified nursing assistants, and kitchen staff. We took a novel approach to addressing these declines by engaging frontline staff in design of immun...
