To evaluate the feasibility of implementing an interdisciplinary, multifaceted knowledge translation intervention within long-term care (LTC) and to identify any challenges that should be considered in designing future studies.
To compare diabetes monitoring and the incidence of acute diabetic complications between patients with and without incident Alzheimer's Disease and Related Syndromes (ADRS).
To quantitatively examine frailty defined by FRAIL scale as a predictor of incident disability risks by conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Medical students report that they receive inadequate training in different levels of care, including care transitions to and from post-acute (PA) and long-term care (LTC). The authors implemented the Medical Students as Teachers in Extended Care (MedTEC) program as an educational innovation at the Clevelan...
Cardiac troponins T (cTnT) and I (cTnI) are the preferred biomarkers to detect myocardial damage. The present study explores the value of measuring cardiac troponins (cTn) in nursing home residents, by investigating its relation to heart failure and 1-year mortality using 1 cTnT and 2 cTnI assays that are ...
To investigate if understated cognitive impairment existed in individuals with physical frail or earlier prefrail state but without cognitive complaints and the susceptible cognitive domains to the physical frailty.
In older patients, hospitalization is often associated with new or worsening disability. This hospitalization-associated disability may be explained in part by the cumulative effect of aging, frailty, comorbidities, and illnesses that led to hospitalization but may also result from health care management i...
To examine the associations of 3 measures of prefracture health status (physical function, mental function, and comorbidity count) with trajectories of physical and mental function at 1.5, 3, 6, and 12 months after hip fracture surgery.
To investigate the effect of low-dose statins and apolipoprotein E () genotypes on cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) to prevent CSVD in older hypertensive patients.
