Low level of physical activity is common among hospitalized older adults and associated with worse prognosis. The aim this paper to describe the pattern in a group identify factors activity. We measured on day three after admission using accelerometer based monitors time upright position as outcome measure. collected data function (Short Physical Performance Battery, SPPB. 0–12), cognitive (Mini Mental Status Examination, MMSE, 0–30 diagnosis impairment at discharge, yes/no), personal...
Patients with delirium have increased risk of death, dementia and institutionalization, prognosis differs between motor subtypes. A few studies identified associations environmental factors like room-transfers time spent in the emergency department (ED) delirium, but no investigated if may influence We wanted to explore potentially stressful events ward-transfers, arriving ED at nighttime, nigthttime investigations were associated development (incident delirium) used DSM-5 criteria diagnose...
Abstract Background Delirium is common in geriatric inpatients and associated with poor outcomes. Hospitalization low levels of physical activity. Motor symptoms are delirium, but how delirium affects activity remains unknown. Aims To investigate differences between without delirium. Methods We included acutely admitted patients ≥ 75 years a prospective observational study at medical ward Norwegian University Hospital. was diagnosed according to the DSM-5 criteria. Physical measured by an...
Delirium is common and associated with poor outcomes. Hypoactive motor subtype may predict worse outcome than no-subtype, hyperactive mixed delirium, but uncertainty remains due to heterogeneity of results subtyping tools. Other prognostic aspects across delirium subtypes are understudied. We investigated differences in one-year mortality, length stay institutionalization at discharge after one year, geriatric patients.We conducted a prospective observational study, included 311 patients ≥75...
Delirium is common and underdiagnosed among patients in hospitals, associated with complications, increased mortality, onset of dementia need for nursing home care. Cognitive impairment from other causes also hospitalised elderly people a key risk factor delirium. Since no relevant prevalence studies have been undertaken Norwegian we investigated the delirium emergency departments on World Awareness Day, 14 March 2018.We included ≥ 75 years who arrived ten between 08:00 22:00 that day. We...
Objectives It remains unclear if geriatric patients with different delirium motor subtypes express levels of activity. Thus, we used two accelerometer-based devices to simultaneously measure upright activity and wrist across in patients. Design Cross-sectional study. Settings Geriatric ward a university hospital Norway. Participants Sixty acutely admitted patients, ≥75 years, DSM-5-delirium. Outcome measures Upright measured as time (minutes) sit-to-stand transitions (numbers), total...
Delirium is common and associated with poor outcomes, partly due to underdetection. We investigated if the delirium screening tool 4 A's test (4AT) score predicts 1 year mortality explored sensitivity specificity of 4AT when applied as part a clinical routine.Secondary analyses prospective study 228 patients acutely admitted Medical Geriatric Ward. Physicians without formal training conducted index (the 4AT); predefined cut-off ≥ suggested delirium. Reference standard was diagnosed by two...
