-
The aim of this study is to establish the existing relationship among variables referred to the person, specifically age and gender, and the functional dependence in basic ADL and in IADL, as well as the possible relationship it has with the increase of morbidity and mortality in a random sample of 598 individuals older than 65 years.

The data suggest that instruments measuring delirium severity and psychomotor features provide important prognostic information and should be integrated into the assessment of delirium.

Inclusion and exclusion criteria were met in 303 patients, and 25 (8.3%) presented to the ED with delirium.
-
The use of benzodiazepines or opioids in the ICU is associated with longer duration of a first episode of delirium.

-
During the study period, 144 patients were enrolled before major abdominal (40%), thoracic (53%), or vascular (7%) operations.

Time requirements for the medication administration process are substantial in LTC and are compounded when nurses are unfamiliar with residents.

We sought to determine the frequency and prognosis of persistent delirium (PerD) in older hospital patients by systematically reviewing original research on this topic.
-
The single most common cause of death occurring within the nursing home was Alzheimer's, with most dying appropriately on hospice care.
-
The potential adverse effects of prophylactic bilateral oophorectomy on heart health, neurological health, bone health and quality of life should be carefully weighed against its potential benefits for cancer risk reduction in women at average risk of ovarian cancer.
-
Numerous reports have linked extremity muscle strength with mortality but the mechanism underlying this association is not known.
-

Our results indicated that patient diagnosis (cancer or dementia) and caregiver appraisals (stressfulness of functional impairment and positive aspects of caregiving) were not predictors on any of our well-being outcomes.

Cognitive and mood disorders were common in elderly hip fracture patients and were associated with greater risk of poor outcomes, both independently and in combination.
-
The Arabic GDS is a useful measure to assess depression among community-dwelling older adults and primary care patients who do not have dementia.
