Developing a machine learning model to identify delirium risk in geriatric internal medicine inpatientsEuropean Geriatric Medicine - Tập 13 - Trang 173-183 - 2021
Qinzheng Li, Yanli Zhao, Yu Chen, Jirong Yue, Yan Xiong
To develop a machine learning model that predicts delirium risk in geriatric internal medicine inpatients. Depression, cognitive impairment, types of drugs, nutritional status, and activity of daily life (ADL) were important predictors of delirium. A machine learning model constructed from the above predictors achieved satisfactory discriminative ability. This machine learning model may allow more...... hiện toàn bộ
The impact of an ageing population on the required hospital capacity: results from forecast analysis on administrative dataEuropean Geriatric Medicine - - 2019
Koen Van den Heede, Nicolas Bouckaert, Carine Van de Voorde
Evaluate the impact of population ageing on the required hospital capacity. As the general population is ageing, the hospital population is also ageing. Additional capacity needs can initially be counterbalanced by reductions in length of stay. Population ageing starts to peak from 2030 with additional hospital capacity needs: inpatient days (+ 21.9%) and hospital beds (+ 21.1%). Investments in ho...... hiện toàn bộ
A population-based study of 2347 fall-related injuries among older people in a Finnish emergency departmentEuropean Geriatric Medicine - Tập 11 - Trang 315-320 - 2020
Saara K. Soukola, Esa R. K. Jämsen, Satu-Liisa K. Pauniaho, Mika T. Ukkonen
The main objective in this population-based study was to analyze the incidence of fall-related emergency
department visits and recurrent falls among older people in a Finnish community. Thirteen percent of all ED visits of patients aged 80 years and over are fall-related. One in four of
those discharged home had a new fall-related injury. As the risk of subsequent fall-related injuries was high du...... hiện toàn bộ
Association between serum interleukin-6 and frailty in older men: cross-sectional dataEuropean Geriatric Medicine - Tập 12 - Trang 887-892 - 2021

To investigate the association between serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) and frailty. There is evidence that suggests that IL-6 is positively associated with frailty in men; an association partly explained by medications known to affect inflammation. These findings support the notion that frailty is a state of heightened inflammation and that IL-6 could be a potential biomarker useful for identifying ind...... hiện toàn bộ
Prevalence and risk factors of frailty in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: systematic review and meta-analysisEuropean Geriatric Medicine - Tập 14 - Trang 789-802 - 2023
Li-Cong Yan, Hong-Yan Lu, Xiao-Yan Wang, Gang Xiao, Yan Chang, Ping Yuan, Bei Wang
This study is the first to explore the risk factors of frailty in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. The estimated prevalence of frailty in patients with COPD was 36%. Age, education level, income level and CAT score are risk factors for frailty in COPD patients. To systematically review the prevalence and risk factors for frailty in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary ...... hiện toàn bộ
