Background/Objectives To analyze mortality, costs, residents and personnel characteristics, in six long-term care facilities (LTCF) during the outbreak of COVID-19 Spain. Design Epidemiological study. Setting Six open LTCFs Albacete (Spain). Participants 198 190 workers from LTCF A were included, between 2020 March 6 April 5. data also collected for same period time, including 1,084 residents. Measurements Baseline demographic, clinical, functional, cognitive nutritional variables collected....
Abstract Background/Objectives The safety and immunogenicity of the BNT162b2 coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) vaccine in older adults with different frailty disability profiles have not been well determined. Our objective was to analyze mRNA COVID‐19 across profiles. Design Multicenter longitudinal cohort study. Setting participants A total 134 residents aged ≥65 years five long‐term care facilities (LTCFs) Albacete, Spain. Intervention measurements Residents were administered two doses...
Older adults are at the highest risk of severe disease and death due to COVID-19. Randomized data have shown that baricitinib improves outcomes in these patients, but focused stratified analyses geriatric cohorts lacking. Our objective was analyze efficacy older with COVID-19 moderate-to-severe pneumonia.
Abstract Background Measurement of muscle mass and function, thereafter, screening diagnosis sarcopenia, is a challenge need in hospitalized older adults. However, it difficult complex real-world old patients, because usually they are unable to collaborate with clinical, functional, imaging testing. Ultrasound measurement quadriceps rectus femoris (QRF) provides non-invasive, real-time assessment quantity quality, highly acceptable participants excellent inter-rater intra-rater variability....
The main objective was to analyze the evolution of muscle Quadriceps Rectus Femoris (QRF) between admission and discharge, in older adults hospitalized with an acute medical disease Acute Geriatric Units (AGUs). Prospective multicentric observational cohort study. Seven AGUs from University Hospitals Spain. Hospitalized ≥ 70 years old, able ambulate without severe dementia. Ultrasound measurements QRF were acquired at 2/3 distal anterior-superior iliac spine patella both legs by trained...
Frailty resulting from the loss of muscle quality can potentially be delayed through early detection and physical exercise interventions. There is a demand for cost-effective tools objective evaluation quality, in both cross-sectional longitudinal assessments. Literature suggests that quantitative analysis ultrasound data captures morphometric, compositional, microstructural properties, while biological assays derived blood samples are associated with functional information.
Abstract Background There is incomplete information regarding evolution of antibody titers against SARS‐CoV‐2 after a two‐dose strategy vaccination with BNT162b2 in older adults long‐term care facilities (LTCFs) frailty, disability, or cognitive impairment. We aimed to determine IgG titer loss LTCFs. Methods This multicenter longitudinal cohort study including 127 residents (90 females and 37 males) mean age 82.7 years (range 65–99) different frailty disability profiles two LTCFs Albacete,...
CAREPATH project is focusing on providing an integrated solution for sustainable care multimorbid elderly patients with dementia or mild cognitive impairment. The has a digitally enhanced patient-centered approach clinical decision and associated intelligent tools the aim to increase patients' independence, quality of life intrinsic capacity. In this paper, conceptual aspects project, in terms technical requirements considerations, are presented.
Delivery of future healthcare information systems requires to support patients with multi-morbidity. Current approaches computer interoperable guidelines typically consider only a single clinical guideline for condition. There is need establish robust protocolized approach the development holistic consensus in context The presence mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia adds an additional challenge delivery effective digital health solutions. CAREPATH proposes ICT-based solution...
Abstract Background Frailty derived from muscle quality loss can potentially be delayed through early detection and physical exercise interventions. There is a need for affordable tools the objective evaluation of quality, in both cross-sectional longitudinal assessment. Literature suggests that quantitative analysis ultrasound data captures morphometric, compositional microstructural properties, while biological essays blood samples are associated with functional information. The aim this...
