Great Harm

The use of pharmacological agents is often a central component of medical therapy for older people. Medications can relieve symptoms, improve function, and prevent illness, but they also have the capacity to inflict great harm. Older people are at particular risk of such harms as a result of impaired homeostatic reserve, of altered drug metabolism, the presence of multimorbidity and consequent polypharmacy, which increases both exposure to potentially harmful agents and the chance of drug–drug interactions. The therapeutic priorities for older, frail people may differ when compared to younger, robust patients; limited life expectancy means that attempts to prolong life may become relatively less important than the relief of symptoms and avoidance of side effects and medication burden.

Abstract Objective: to translate and cross-culturally adapt the Home Falls and Accidents Screening Tool - HOME FAST into Brazilian Portuguese and to evaluate its construct validity and intra-and inter-rater reliability. Method: a cross-sectional study was carried out that included older people aged 60 years or older. Translation and cross-cultural adaptation were carried out in the following stages: 1. Translation, 2. Synthesis, 3. Back translation, 4. Expert panel (review and pre-final version), 5. Pre-testing, 6. Analysis by the expert panel and the final version of the instrument. The Berg Balance Scale - BBS was used to test construct validity (Spearman correlation coefficient). Additionally, intra-and inter-rater reliability analysis was conducted using the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) and the Bland-Altman plot. Results were considered significant at p<0.05. Results: the HOME FAST-Brazil was applied to 53 older people with a mean age of 71(5) years; 79% (42) of whom were female and 21% (11) of whom were male. The translation and cross-cultural adaptation process resulted in similar versions among translations. The correlation of the total score of HOME FAST-Brazil with the BBS was ρ=-0.241, p=0.041. The reliability rate was ICC=0.99 and 0.92 (intra-and inter-rater, respectively). Conclusion: The HOME FAST-Brazil, translated and cross-culturally adapted to Brazilian Portuguese, was shown to have construct validity and excellent intra-and inter-rater reliability.

AbstractThis chapter presents the ICECAP-O, a measure of capability tailored for older people. It briefly presents the original version of the ICECAP-O. In addition, it describes the work that has been done concerning the translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the ICECAP-O to the Swedish context. Finally, the chapter contains arguments for the use of the Swedish version of the ICECAP-O in health and social care, and in the evaluation of interventions and longitudinal research studies where older people’s capabilities are a focus.

Group Interviews

Abstract Background and Objectives Deprescribing may be particularly relevant in older people with limited life expectancy. In order to effectively carry out deprescribing in this population, it is important to understand the perspectives of the full spectrum of health care professionals (HCPs) involved in the management of these patients’ medication. Thus, we aimed to explore different HCPs’ perspectives on deprescribing in older patients with limited life expectancy. Research Design and Methods Six qualitative focus group interviews were conducted using a semistructured approach. The groups comprised HCPs from both primary and secondary care, including family physicians (FPs), geriatricians, clinical pharmacologists, clinical pharmacists, nurses, and health care assistants. Interviews were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. Results were analyzed using systematic text condensation. Results A total of 32 HCPs participated in the study (median age of 40.5 years; 22% male). The analysis elicited three main themes related to HCPs’ perspectives on deprescribing in older patients with limited life expectancy: (a) Approaching deprescribing, (b) Taking responsibility, and (c) Collaboration across professions. Within themes, subthemes were identified and analyzed. Discussion and Implications Our results imply that different groups of HCPs consider deprescribing an essential aspect of providing good care for older people with limited life expectancy and find that all HCPs play a crucial role in the deprescribing process, with FPs having the primary responsibility. In order to facilitate deprescribing among this population, however, the collaboration between different HCPs should be improved.
