Abstract Background The prevalence of true asymptomatic COVID-19 cases is critical to policy makers considering the effectiveness mitigation measures against SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. We aimed synthesize all available research on rates and transmission where possible. Methods searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane trials, Europe PMC (which covers pre-print platforms such as MedRxiv). included primary studies reporting where: (a) sample frame includes at-risk population, (b) there was sufficiently long...
Introduction India is undergoing rapid epidemiological transition as a consequence of economic and social change. The pattern mortality key indicator the consequent health effects but up-to-date, precise, reliable statistics are few, particularly in rural areas.
Background: The prevalence of true asymptomatic COVID-19 cases is critical to policy makers considering the effectiveness mitigation measures against SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. We aimed synthesise all available research on rates. Methods: searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane COVID 19 trials, and European PMC for pre-print platforms such as MedRxiv, Research Square, F1000 Research. included primary studies reporting where: (a) sample frame was not contingent presence or absence symptoms, (b) there...
To determine the prevalence of frailty in Emergency Departments (EDs); examine ability to predict poor outcomes post-discharge; and identify most appropriate instrument for routine ED use. In this prospective study we simultaneously assessed adults 65+yrs admitted and/or spent one night using Fried, Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS), SUHB (Stable, Unstable, Help walk, Bedbound) scales four Australian EDs rapid recognition between June 2015 March 2016. 899 with complete follow-up data (mean (SD)...

As older adults approach the end-of-life (EOL), many are faced with complex decisions including whether to use medical advances prolong life. Limited information exists on priorities of at EOL.
In recent years, there has been growing recognition of the threats to health posed by loneliness. One main strategies that recommended address this is social prescribing (SP). This typically involves general practitioners (GPs) and other directing clients who are experiencing loneliness related conditions take part in activities—typically recreational community contexts. However, evidence for effectiveness SP mixed—leading some suggest enthusiasm it might be misplaced. review, we argue a...
Abstract Introduction Frailty is associated with adverse outcomes among patients attending emergency departments (EDs). While multiple frailty screens are available, little known about which variables important to incorporate and how best facilitate accurate, yet prompt ED screening. To understand the core requirements of screening in ED, we conducted an international, modified, electronic two-round Delphi consensus study. Methods A involving 37 participants from 10 countries was undertaken....
To analyze the efficacy of low-dose aspirin in preventing early aortocoronary vein graft occlusion, 1,112 consecutive patients were enrolled a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial comparing 50 mg t.i.d. aspirin, plus 75 dipyridamole, and placebo. All received 100 q.i.d. dipyridamole for 48 hours before surgery, assigned treatment was started 7 after surgery. Vein angiography performed 927 (83%) within 28 days surgery (mean, 10 days). Aspirin significantly (p =...
