Clinicians and researchers have shown increasing interest in frailty. Yet, there is still considerable uncertainty regarding the concept its definition. In this article, we present perspectives on key issues controversies discussed by scientists from 13 different countries, representing a diverse range of disciplines, at 2006 Second International Working Meeting Frailty Aging. The following fundamental questions are discussed: What distinction, if any, between frailty aging? relationship...
Replication is an essential part of the scientific method, yet replication systematic reviews too often overlooked, and done unnecessarily or poorly. Excessive (doing same study repeatedly) unethical a cause research wastage. This article provides consensus based guidance on when to replicate not reviews.
Little is known about the contribution of frailty in improving patient-level prediction beyond readily available clinical information. The objective this study to compare predictive ability 129 combinations seven markers (cognition, energy, mobility, mood, nutrition, physical activity, and strength) quantify their accuracy age, sex, number chronic diseases. Two cohorts from Established Populations for Epidemiologic Studies Elderly were used. model with best fit predicting 6-year incidence...
Investigations of transparency, reproducibility and replicability in science have been directed largely at individual studies. It is just as critical to explore these issues syntheses studies, such systematic reviews, given their influence on decision-making future research. We aim various aspects relating the several components reviews with meta-analysis effects health, social, behavioural educational interventions.
Health care providers often struggle to treat patients with chronic pain. One potential solution is facilitate access programs and tools that develop patients' skills confidence in managing their own care. This study aimed describe the uptake of Chronic Pain Self-Management Program (CPSMP) Eastern Ontario evaluate effectiveness program acquisition knowledge, confidence, required manage pain, as measured by Patient Activation Measure (PAM). Using data routinely collected through CPSMP between...
There has been little research on the relative importance of frailty markers. The objective was to investigate association among seven domains (nutrition, physical activity, mobility, strength, energy, cognition, and mood) their contribution in explaining differences individuals five samples older persons. Data from studies aging were analyzed using multiple correspondence analysis. Aggregation markers evaluated graphical output. Decomposition variability used assess each marker sample....
La fragilité est un concept nouveau, controversé et énigmatique. Les chercheurs, les décideurs ainsi que prestataires de soins santé ont constaté l’impact la sur personnes atteintes, leur famille, notamment soignants, société. Au cours des deux dernières décennies, documentation traitant s’est fait plus en abondante. Toutefois, il n’existe toujours pas définition critères universellement reconnus pour décrire fragilité, y a peu d’informations concernant qualité résultats recherche ayant...
The terms “successful aging” and “the frail elderly” are now commonly used in aging research, but biomedical researchers may be unaware of the possible unintended negative consequences their use. A operational definition successful (high cognitive physical function, low probability disease, active engagement with life) reflects values not necessarily shared by other cultures or even older persons our own culture. Other definitions for “a good old age” have been proposed. adjective...
BackgroundIn the past century, there has been a significant rise in life expectancy almost all regions of world, contributing to an increasingly older population. The aging population, conjunction with urbanization and industrialization, resulted important epidemiological transition marked by widespread increase prevalence chronic diseases their sequelae. Current trends suggest that will have greater impact on developing countries compared developed countries. An adequate response requires...
Abstract Background Replication is essential to the scientific method. It unclear what systematic reviewers think about replication of reviews (SRs). Therefore, we aimed explore reviewers' perspectives on (a) definition and importance SR replication; (b) incentives barriers conducting (c) a checklist guide when replicate an SR. Methods We searched PubMed for SRs published from January April 2021, which randomly allocated 50% this survey another data sharing in SRs. sent electronic authors...
Older adults face several challenges when accessing specialist care. Advanced practice nurses (APNs) can perform an important role in primary care for older adults, particularly bolstered with digital tools. In the current study, we conducted a multiple case study of electronic consultations (eConsults) involving APNs to assess how these practitioners use service improve access All eConsults submitted by or APN 2019 on behalf patients aged ≥65 years were reviewed identify examples from six...
