Predictors for institutionalization and prosthetic ambulation after major lower extremity amputation during an eight-year follow-upAging Clinical and Experimental Research - Tập 21 - Trang 129-135 - 2013
Leena Remes, Raimo Isoaho, Tero Vahlberg, Matti Viitanen, Päivi Rautava
Background and aims: Major lower extremity amputation (LEA) leads to great loss in mobility, exposing old people to the risk of losing their independent living status. This study applies predictors for institutionalization and considers prosthesis use by major lower leg amputees with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Methods: 119 PAD patients admitted from home (mean age 73.6, SD...... hiện toàn bộ

Survival following vertebral compression fractures in population over 65 years oldAging Clinical and Experimental Research - Tập 35 - Trang 1609-1617 - 2023
Raquel Gutiérrez-González, Ana Royuela, Alvaro Zamarron
Lower mortality has been demonstrated when vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) are treated surgically (vertebral augmentation) vs. conservatively. To analyze the overall survival in patients over 65 who suffer a VCF, to review the principal causes of death, and to detect which factors are associated with a greater risk of mortality. Patients over 65 years old diagnosed with acute, non-pathologi...... hiện toàn bộ
Predicting mild cognitive impairment progression to Alzheimer’s disease based on machine learning analysis of cortical morphological featuresAging Clinical and Experimental Research - Tập 35 - Trang 1721-1730 - 2023
Wei Wang, Jiaxuan Peng, Jie Hou, Zhongyu Yuan, Wutao Xie, Guohe Mao, Yaling Pan, Yuan Shao, Zhenyu Shu
To establish a model for predicting mild cognitive impairment (MCI) progression to Alzheimer's disease (AD) using morphological features extracted from a joint analysis of voxel-based morphometry (VBM) and surface-based morphometry (SBM).
We analyzed data from 121 MCI patients from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative, 32 of whom progressed to AD during a 4-year follow-up period and we...... hiện toàn bộ
Functional autonomy and 12-month mortality in older adults with proximal femoral fractures in an orthogeriatric setting: risk factors and gender differencesAging Clinical and Experimental Research - Tập 35 - Trang 1063-1071 - 2023

Proximal femur fractures have a negative impact on loss of functional autonomy and mortality. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate functional autonomy and mortality in a group of older adults with hip fractures managed in an orthogeriatric setting 12 months after discharge and to determine if gender affected outcome. In all participants, we assessed clinical history, functional pre-...... hiện toàn bộ
Hospital admissions and mortality over 20 years in community-dwelling older people: findings from the Hertfordshire Cohort StudyAging Clinical and Experimental Research - Tập 35 - Trang 2751-2757 - 2023

Demographic changes worldwide are leading to pressures on health services, with hospital admissions representing an important contributor. Here, we report admission types experienced by older people and examine baseline risk factors for subsequent admission/death, from the community-based Hertfordshire Cohort Study. 2997 participants (1418 women) completed a baseline questionnaire and clinic visit...... hiện toàn bộ
Combined measurement of serum albumin and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol strongly predicts mortality in frail older nursing-home residentsAging Clinical and Experimental Research - Tập 16 - Trang 472-475 - 2013

Background and aims: The aim of this study was to verify the hypothesis that a combined measurement of albumin and HDL-C might predict total mortality in institutionalized frail older residents. Methods: Participants were 344 older subjects (272 F, 72 M), living in the “Istituto Riposo Anziani” (I.R.A.), a nursing-home located in Padova, North-east Italy. Functional status, comorb...... hiện toàn bộ
Mood, lifestyle and cardiovascular risk factors among older caregivers of patients with Alzheimer’s disease dementia: a case–control studyAging Clinical and Experimental Research - Tập 31 - Trang 1609-1614 - 2019

Caregivers may have a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases and have high rates of anxiety and depression. The objective of this study was to evaluate mood, lifestyle and the presence of cardiovascular risk factors in older women caregivers of patients with Alzheimer´s disease (AD) dementia compared to non-caregivers living in the neighborhood. Paired case–control (1:1). Volunteers responded to a...... hiện toàn bộ
Quality indicators in acute stroke care: a prospective observational survey in 13 Italian regionsAging Clinical and Experimental Research - Tập 26 - Trang 279-286 - 2013

Quality monitoring has great relevance in stroke care. The Project “How to guarantee adherence to effective interventions in stroke care” aimed to estimate adherence to acute-phase guidelines in stroke care in Italy. A prospective observational study was performed in 27 hospitals of 13 Italian Regions. Adherence to 15 process indicators was evaluated, comparing also stroke units (SU) with conventi...... hiện toàn bộ
