概括
功能性测量,如定时上路测试 (TUG) 和急性护理后活动测量 (AM-PAC) 6个点击可以预测急诊室秋季访问后老年人的结果,指导更好的护理.
科学领域:
- 老年医学 老年医学
- 紧急医疗 紧急医疗
- 康复科学 康复科学 康复科学
背景情况:
- 布是老年人急诊室 (ED) 访问的主要原因.
- 老年急性和后急性跌倒预防干预 (GAPcare) 之前显示,在老年人中,跌倒后6个月的ED再访减少.
- 内部ED功能测量和临床结果之间的关系需要进一步研究.
研究的目的:
- 评估在ED访问期间获得的功能测量和在跌倒后出现的老年人中随后的临床结果之间的关联.
- 确定特定的功能评估是否可以预测出院安排,秋季相关的ED重访和6个月居住状态.
主要方法:
- 来自GAPcare随机对照试验 (2018年1月 - 2019年10月) 数据的二次分析.
- 在指数ED访问中收集了标准化的功能测量 (定时和去 [TUG] 测试,Barthel日常生活活动 [ADL],急性护理后活动测量 [AM-PAC] 6次点击).
- 描述性分析和假设测试 (基平方,ANOVA) 用于评估功能性措施和结果 (ED处置,秋季相关的ED复查,6个月居住地) 之间的关系.
主要成果:
- 在110名参与者中,有55人接受了GAPcare干预. 平均年龄为81岁,67%是女性,94%是白人.
- 更快的TUG时间 (P = .016) 和更高的AM-PAC 6点击分数 (P ≤ .001) 与释放到原住所有关.
- 在指数ED访问时,较慢的TUG时间预测了在6个月后居住在养老院的可能性更高 (P = .002).
结论:
- 在最初的ED访问期间收集的功能测量,特别是AM-PAC 6点击和TUG时间,可以帮助预测老年人的临床结果.
- 这些发现支持将功能评估纳入患者的ED工作流程.
- 针对患有跌倒的ED患者,提出了一种利用这些临床措施的新的工作流程.

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients
395
Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...

Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age
367
Age-related pharmacokinetic changes are extensively documented, but understanding age-related pharmacodynamic alterations is relatively limited. This knowledge gap can be partly attributed to the complexity of developing appropriate measures of drug responses compared to bioanalytical methods for determining drug concentrations.Most information regarding age-related differences in human pharmacodynamics originates from cross-sectional studies. However, these studies assume that observed mean...
