Background and purpose — Hip fracture (HF) in frail elderly patients is associated with poor physical recovery death. There often postoperative blood loss the hemoglobin (Hb) threshold for red cell (RBC) transfusions these unknown. We investigated whether RBC transfusion strategies were degree of or reduced mortality after HF surgery. Patients methods enrolled 284 consecutive post-surgical (aged ≥ 65 years) Hb levels < 11.3 g/dL (7 mmol/L) who had been admitted from nursing homes sheltered...

Detailed examination was performed in 1781 subjects with occult fasting hyperglycaemia (FH), 211 known diabetics (KD), and their corresponding non‐diabetic controls (80 C FH , 216 KD ), all found by screening of a well‐defined population aged 60–74 years. All but one 90% could be classified as non‐insulin‐dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) when evaluated glucagon‐C‐peptide test.

BACKGROUND: Hip fracture is a common cause of long hospital stay in the elderly. Approximately one third these patients die within first year. As consequence geriatric and orthopedic collaboration (orthogeriatrics) has been organized different ways. The aim this study to evaluate efficiency multidisciplinary in-hospital intervention on patient outcome. METHODS: A total 495 elderly hip consecutively admitted surgery, were followed. Data based medical records. group (n=233) was compared...

Abstract Purpose Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) has a high mortality among older patients. Identification of patients with CDI in increased risk is important to target treatment and thereby reduce mortality. The aim this study was investigate rates compare frailty levels at discharge, measured by the record-based Multidimensional Prognostic Index (MPI), age severity as predictors diagnosed during hospitalisation. Methods This population-based cohort from Central Denmark Region,...
