Individuals with cardiovascular disease (CVD) are more likely to become frail. However, no study has determined whether an incident CVD event alters frailty trajectories in older individuals. This aims determine the extent which modifies and identify factors that influence those changes. 19,111 individuals (56.4%, women) ≥aged 65 years, who had prior or other major health conditions at baseline, were followed for up 11 years. Frailty was measured annually using 64-item deficit-accumulation...
Abstract Background The Breast-Q Implant Surveillance module (BREAST-Q IS) is a patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) that asks 5 questions on satisfaction (shape, feel, and rippling) symptoms (pain tightness) derived from the BREAST-Q. Objectives We aimed to pilot BREAST-Q IS patients within Australian Breast Device Registry (ABDR), an opt-out clinical quality device registry, explored Short Message Service (SMS) communication as follow-up method. Methods Patients with breast surgery in...
Background: The Poly Implant Prothèse incident and breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma have pointed to the need for uniform registries implants as key features monitoring outcomes of implant surgeries internationally. purpose this study was identify harmonize common data elements collected by across International Collaboration Breast Registry Activities (ICOBRA) global consortium. Methods: authors convened an international group surgeons, consumers, nurses, registry...
Importance Poor cardiometabolic health is a risk factor associated with cognitive impairment in later life, but it remains unclear whether trajectories can serve as early markers dementia. Objective To compare that precede dementia diagnosis those among individuals without Design, Setting, and Participants This case-control study analyzed sample drawn from community-dwelling participants the Aspirin Reducing Events Elderly (ASPREE) study. Recruitment through primary care physicians occurred...
Abstract INTRODUCTION Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a recognized risk factor for dementia. Here we determined the extent to which an incident CVD event modifies trajectory of cognitive function and METHODS 19,114 adults (65+) without or dementia were followed prospectively over 9 years. Incident (fatal coronary heart disease, nonfatal myocardial infarction [MI], stroke, hospitalization failure) ( Diagnostic Statistical Manual Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition criteria) adjudicated by...
Background: Breast device registries monitor devices encompassing breast implants, tissue expanders and dermal matrices, the quality of care patient outcomes for surgery. Defining a standard set indicators risk adjustment factors will enable consistency case-mix in benchmarking across implant registries. This study aimed to develop assessment reporting surgery which can be applied globally. Methods: A scoping literature review was undertaken, potential were identified. Consensus on final...
Risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) also increase the risk of dementia. However, whether commonly used CVD scores are associated with dementia in older adults who do not have a history CVD, and potential gender differences this association, remains unclear. The aim study was to determine prospectively cognitive decline initially healthy men women.
Abstract Background Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are increasingly employed in healthcare to assess outcomes. The BREAST-Q Implant Surveillance module (BREAST-Q IS) is a 5-question PROM utilized by the Australian Breast Device Registry monitor performance of breast devices. Validation this tool needed its utility setting. Objectives objective study was test-retest reliability IS among implant recipients within registry Methods A undertaken. Patients who underwent augmentation or...
Abstract Background Cognitive impairment is common after stroke, and a large proportion of stroke patients will develop dementia. However, there have been few prospective studies which assessed cognition both prior to stroke. This study aims determine the extent incident impacts different domains cognitive function in longitudinal cohort older community-dwelling individuals. Methods 19,114 individuals without cardiovascular disease or major were recruited followed over maximum 11 years....
Abstract Background and Aim: Rehabilitation therapy is a key part of the recovery pathway for people with severe acquired brain injury (ABI). The aim this study was to explore inpatients’ their family members’ experiences specialist ABI rehabilitation service. Methods: A cross sectional, prospective mixed method undertaken at metropolitan unit in Victoria, Australia. All inpatients members service were invited complete satisfaction survey. Employing purposive sampling, semi-structured...
Abstract Background Risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) also increase the risk of dementia. However, whether CVD scores are associated with dementia in older adults remains unclear. The aim this study was to determine and cognitive decline men women. Methods 19,114 participants from a prospective cohort individuals aged 65+ years. Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease score (ASCVDRS), Systematic Coronary Evaluation 2 – Older Persons (SCORE2-OP) Framingham (FRS) were calculated at...
Abstract Background Risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) also increase the risk of dementia. However, whether commonly used CVD scores are associated with dementia in older adults who do not have a history remains unclear. The aim this study was to determine subsequent cognitive decline and initially healthy men women. Method Participants were from prospective cohort 19,114 individuals aged 65+ years without prior event or major impairment. Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease...
