-
Use of potentially inappropriate medications in Australian nursing home residents with advanced dementia is common.
-
Older adults with cognitive impairment face many healthcare challenges, chief among them participating in medical decision-making about their own health care.
-
A subgroup of patients with Alzheimer's disease was identified and compared to patients with other and unspecified types of dementia.
-
69/100
The survival prediction model demonstrated moderate accuracy for predicting mortality at 6 and 12 months before death in elderly patients with dementia.
-
Key mechanisms of action were: improved observation and awareness of residents, collaborative assessment, comprehensive 'picture of the person', systematic record keeping, improved review and monitoring, care planning and changes to care provision, and facilitated multi-agency communication.
-
The mean age of the 402 study residents was 86.7 years [range, 67-102 years]; 350 were white (87.1%) and 323 were female (80.3%), with DNH directives that by 6 months did not differ between arms (63% in both arms; adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 1.08; 95% CI, 0.69-1.69).
-
Most families chose comfort as the primary GOC.
-
Older people with cognitive impairment have a higher risk of a variety of negative outcomes in hospital.
-
No high-quality guidelines are available for ACP in dementia care.
-
62/100
Discussing future care is difficult due to uncertainties about the future and the decisional capacities of people with dementia.
-
Although mixed, the results indicate a positive response for the use of internet-based interventions by caregivers.
-
Surgical repair of a hip fracture was associated with lower mortality among NH residents with advanced dementia and should be considered together with the residents' goals of care in management decisions.
-
The most common place of death in patients with dementia is the retirement or nursing home, followed by hospital and home.
-
Current policy emphasises the importance of 'living well' with dementia, but there has been no comprehensive synthesis of the factors related to quality of life (QoL), subjective well-being or life satisfaction in people with dementia.
-
Recent evidence suggests that Web-based interventions have the potential to support caregivers by decreasing caregiver stress and burden.
-
The experiences and preparedness of informal carers is a reflection of their personal response, but the distress experienced highlights the significant need of adequate support availability and of enhancing nursing staffs' dementia expertise to maximize their role in facilitating best interest decision-making.
-
We undertook subgroup analysis by setting (community versus care home) and by modality (individual versus group).
-
Palliative care is related to reduced life-sustaining treatments for patients with dementia.
-
Palliative care services would benefit from ensuring holistic approaches to supporting people with dementia, their carers and wider family networks.
-
The evidence about the role the designed and built environment plays in supporting individuals living with dementia has been steadily mounting for almost 40 years.
-
Although not all settings currently require attention to the principles described, this article proposes these principles as best practice recommendations.
-
A novel method using an EHR phenotype plus brief medical record review is effective to identify hospitalized patients with late-stage dementia.
-
Our findings support need for greater ACP discussions between patients and proxies.
-
People with advanced dementia in their final phase of life have a multitude of individual and complex needs.
-
This study indicates the need to provide nurses and nursing assistants with more information about palliative care practice for people with advanced dementia.
-
Patients with dementia are significantly more likely to be disenrolled from hospice following a long enrollment period compared with patients without dementia.
-
Only one third (n = 10) of caregivers interviewed were prepared for the death, and the majority who were prepared were enrolled in hospice.
-
About half of the caregivers had significant levels of psychological distress.
-

The findings of this review provide insight into catalysing the paradigm shift from 'reducing stress' to 'optimising positive experience' in developing caregiving support services for dementia, and may guide future empirical study to explain this unique dimension of caregiving experience.
-
38/100
Seven areas were identified as important to end-of-life care for people with dementia and/or family carers.
-
These findings are consistent with reports that care homes can provide care akin to hospice for the very old and support an approach of supporting residents to stay in their care home or own home if possible.
-
People with dementia often fail to receive palliative care, despite increased recognition of their need and eligibility for such care.
-
74/100
The mean age of 634 patients was 80 years.
-
There exists compelling evidence that advance care planning (ACP) remains a key factor in the delivery of appropriate end of life care and facilitates the timely transition to palliative care for people with dementia.
-
Little is known about the effectiveness of a psychosocial behaviour management programme on home-dwelling people with dementia.
-
ED attendance in the last year of life for people with dementia is common and is increasing.
-
This article provides an updated review of the determinants of caregiver burden and depression, with a focus on care demands and especially the differential effects of various neuropsychiatric symptoms or symptom clusters.

-
There is a dearth of good-quality evidence investigating the cancer-dementia prevalence and its implications for successful cancer treatment.
-
The care experienced by people with dementia and their families has the potential to be improved; palliative care frameworks may have much to offer in this endeavour.

Implementation was feasible to differing degrees across sites, dependent on context.
-
There was a lack of definitive evidence of effectiveness for most psychosocial interventions.
-
Regular health status updates and end of life discussions can help families understand dementia progression and prepare for end of life.
-
The facilitated approach explored in this study addressed known barriers to case conferencing.
-
This study suggests that decision making at the end of life for people with dementia has the potential to be improved.
-
The significant challenges of providing good end of life care for people with dementia requires that different forms of expertise should be recognised and used; including the skills and knowledge of care assistants.
