And Gender

This article examines the relative incidence of poverty among the elderly in nineteenth-century Hertfordshire with special reference to gender. Both national and local sources are employed to highlight the particular difficulties experienced by the elderly, male poor under the New Poor Law, and the short and long term problems they faced as a result of seasonal unemployment and an overstocked labour market. For elderly women, the extent to which their poverty was relieved by employment in cottage industry, almshouse accommodation, the continuing receipt of out-relief and a higher incidence of family support are examined to provide an assessment of the manner in which poverty was gendered in the nineteenth century.

The short- and long-term outcomes of pancreatic resection for pancreatic adenocarcinoma have not been fully evaluated in elderly patients. This retrospective study selected patients who underwent curative surgery for pancreatic cancer at our institution. Patients were categorized into 2 groups: nonelderly patients (age < 75 years; group A) and elderly patients (age ≥ 75 years; group B). The surgical morbidity, surgical mortality, overall survival (OS), and recurrence-free survival (RFS) rates in the 2 groups were compared. A total of 221 patients were evaluated in the study. The overall complication rates were 44.8% in group A and 52.6% in group B. Surgical mortality was observed in 2 patients due to an abdominal abscess and cardiovascular disease in group A (1.1%) and in 1 patient due to postoperative bleeding in group B (2.6%). There were no significant differences (P = 0.379 and P = 0.456, respectively). Furthermore, the 5-year OS and RFS rates were similar between the elderly patients and nonelderly patients (18.55 versus 20.2%, P = 0.946 and 13.1% versus 16.0%, P = 0.829, respectively). The short-term outcomes and long-term survival after pancreatic resection for pancreatic adenocarcinoma were almost equal in the elderly and the nonelderly patients in this study. Therefore, it is unnecessary to avoid pancreatic resection for pancreatic adenocarcinoma in elderly patients simply because of their age.

Introduction: Cardiac arrest is a common event and one of the leading causes of death. Especially within the elderly judgment on if the treatment will be in favor of the patient is a major challenge for the medical team. We evaluated the influence of the age on short and long-term survival after out-of- hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Hypothesis: Elderly people survive an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest with good neurological outcome. Methods: For this purpose, we analyzed data of 24,686 out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients prospectively registered between 2008 and 2017 within the German Resuscitation Registry (GRR). The data records were divided according to different age groups and within the age group after shockable and non-shockable rhythms. The data sets were examined with regard to short and long-term survival. Short term survival was measured by expected and observed return-of-spontaneous circulation based on the RACA-score. The RACA-score is a previously published score to predict ROSC based on readily available variables after arrival of the emergency medical service (EMS) on scene. Long-term survival was differentiated in 24-hour survival, 30-day survival and hospital discharge with good neurological outcome (Cerebral Performance Category 1 and 2). Results: (Table 1) Conclusions: Our data shows that shockable rhythm and younger age are important factors of good neurological outcome after OHCA. Nevertheless, the few cases with shockable rhythms (411 out of 3227) in the elderly (>85 years) showed a favorable neurological outcome in 12.2% (77,2% of all patients with hospital discharge). In the non-shockable group 1.4% (58,3%) of the >85 year old had a good outcome. Data show that a resuscitation attempt in the elderly is not futile, especially if a shockable rhythm is detected. Further studies are necessary to maintain this decision.
