Current emergency care systems are not optimized to respond multiple and complex problems associated with frailty. Services may require reconfiguration effectively deliver comprehensive frailty care, yet its prevalence variation poorly understood. This study primarily determined the of among older people attending care.
Abstract Background The observational Frailty in European Emergency Departments (FEED) study found 40% of older people attending for care to be living with frailty. Older frailty have poorer outcomes from emergency care. Current best practice calls early identification and holistic multidisciplinary assessment. This survey FEED sites explores variations frailty-attuned service definitions provision. Methods cross-sectional included across Europe identified through snowball recruitment. Site...
Early-onset preeclampsia is associated with premature cardiovascular disease. We previously demonstrated that femoral intima-media thickness (IMT) and markers of disease were increased in women 1 year after early-onset preeclampsia. The current study measured (progression of) IMT, risk factors endothelial cell dysfunction 4-5 years postpartum the same women.Case-control study.Formerly preeclamptic women.IMT carotid arteries was by ultrasound, as a marker subclinical atherosclerosis. Various...
Background: Older adults (OAs) with mild traumatic brain injury (OA-mTBI) are a growing population, but studies on long-term outcomes and quality of life scarce. Our aim was to determine the health-related (HRQoL) in OA-mTBI one year after assess early predictors HRQoL. Methods: Data from prospective follow-up study 164 older (≥60 years) 289 younger mTBI patients (<60 admitted emergency department were analyzed. Post-traumatic complaints, emotional distress coping evaluated 2 weeks...
Objective The objective of this study was to assess the incidence and characteristics patients presenting with physical symptoms that remain medically unexplained at emergency department (ED). Patients methods A retrospective chart carried out in three hospitals Netherlands Belgium. All (age > 18 years) visiting ED 4 selected weeks 2013 Erasmus University Medical Center (Erasmus MC) Rotterdam, Netherlands, 1 week Haaglanden Center, Westeinde HMC Hague, Hospital Ghent (UZG), Belgium, were...
Objective. Preeclampsia is associated with cardiovascular atherosclerotic events later in life. Impaired arterial elasticity considered to be a marker of vascular (endothelial) dysfunction and involved the process. We investigated whether previously preeclamptic women have lower indices comparison controls. Design. Case-control study. Setting. University Medical Center Groningen, Netherlands. Sample. 14 non-pregnant history early-onset preeclampsia (cases) 16 (controls) an uncomplicated...
Age is variably described as a minor or major risk factor for traumatic intracranial lesions after head injury. However, at present, no specific CT decision rule available elderly patients with injury (MHI). The aims of this prospective multicenter cohort study were to assess the performance existing rules MHI and compare clinical characteristics younger population. Thirty-day mortality between two age groups (cutoff ≥ 60 years), along characteristics, was evaluated four rules: National...
Orthostatic tremor (OT) is a high-frequency (13-18 Hz) present in the legs when standing. Underlying disease found one-third of OT patients.We describe an 86-year-old man with progressive shaking while standing, which disappears immediately after sitting down or walking. Polymyography confirmed (10-11 Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and neurologic examination showed no underlying disease.Primary can appear at lower frequency 10-11 Hz.
Abstract Background Acute neck pain (ANP) has recently been demonstrated to be a predictor of persistent posttraumatic complaints after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). The aim this study was determine specific characteristics patients with ANP following mTBI, their and relationship functional outcome. Methods Data from prospective follow-up 922 mTBI admitted the emergency department (ED) in three level-one trauma centres were analysed. Patients divided into two groups: 156 766 no acute...
In women with a history of preeclampsia skin autofluorescence as marker tissue AGEs accumulation is increased, supporting common causal metabolic or vascular link between and cardiovascular diseases.To investigate whether (AF), advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), elevated in 4-year severe preeclampsia.About 17 formerly preeclamptic 16 controls were included. Skin AF several traditional risk factors recorded.In comparison to controls, had higher the legs, body mass index (BMI), blood...
To determine the frequency of post-traumatic complaints and recovery rate non-hospitalised patients with minor head injury (MHI) their relationship demographic characteristics. We also evaluated differences between patient groups in this least severe category brain injury.Prospective cohort follow-up study.Patients admitted to emergency department (ED) a tertiary hospital Netherlands.242 MHI (n=100 only n=142 mild traumatic (mTBI)) discharged home directly after evaluation at ED.The primary...
<strong>Background:</strong> Orthostatic tremor (OT) is a high-frequency (13–18 Hz) present in the legs when standing. Underlying disease found one-third of OT patients. <strong>Case report:</strong> We describe an 86-year-old man with progressive shaking while standing, which disappears immediately after sitting down or walking. Polymyography confirmed (10–11 Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and neurologic examination showed no underlying disease. <strong>Discussion:</strong> Primary can...
Procedural sedation and analgesia (PSA) is frequently used in the emergency department (ED) to facilitate painful unpleasant procedures. PSA generally achieved by intravenous (IV) administration of sedatives (propofol midazolam) or dissociative agents (ketamine), often combination with short-acting opioids (fentanyl). As may result cardiovascular collapse (hypotension), careful hemodynamic monitoring ECG [heart rate (HR)] noninvasive blood pressure measurements standard care [1–3]....
