D Dimer

A rapid and accurate diagnosis of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in the elderly individuals represents a dilemma due to nonspecific clinical presentation, confusing laboratory results, and the hazards of radiological examination in this age-group. d-Dimer test is used mainly in combination with non-high clinical pretest probability (PTP) to exclude VTE. d-Dimer testing retains its sensitivity, however, its specificity decreases in the elderly individuals. Raising the cutoff level improves the specificity of the d-dimer test without compromising its sensitivity. The current study aimed to explore the reliability of higher d-dimer cutoff values for the diagnosis of asymptomatic VTE in a population of bedridden hospitalized elderly patients with non-high clinical PTP. This retrospective study included 252 bedridden hospitalized elderly patients (>65 years) who were admitted to the Ain shams University Specialized Hospital with non-high clinical probability and developed later reduced mobility; all underwent quantitation of d-dimer and Doppler examination. Considering the whole population (>65 years), the age-adjusted cutoff achieved the best performance in comparison with the conventional and receiver operating characteristic (ROC)–derived cutoffs. When stratified according to age, the age-adjusted cutoff showed the best performance in the age-group 65-70 and comparable performance with the ROC-derived cutoff in the age-group 71-80, however, its sensitivity compromised in those older than 80 years. In conclusion, it is recommended to use age-adjusted cutoff value of d-dimer together with the clinical probability score in elderly individuals (65-80 years).

Abstract Objective: To describe the stressful factors experienced by hospitalized elderly from the perspective of the Neuman Systems Model (NSM). Method: A descriptive qualitative study performed with 12 elderly hospitalized in a medical clinic of a teaching hospital in Rio Grande do Sul. Data production occurred from March to June 2016, through narrative interviews, subsequently transcribed, organized and submitted to the thematic analysis of Minayo, based on the NSM. Results: The stressors factors were classified in: intrapersonal - related to the clinical and psychosociocultural conditions resulting from the disease; interpersonal - resulting from the relationships between elderly and health professionals; and extrapersonal - resulting from the institutional infrastructure, standards and routines. Conclusion and implications for practice: It is important that nursing professionals assist the elderly in the hospitalization process, aiming at minimizing the stressors experienced at this time of frailty and often of dependence, in order to preserve their physical-emotional stability and well-being.

Inappropriate Medications

Inappropriate prescribing (IP) is a major healthcare problem in elderly patients. The risk of this problem increases during hospitalization. This is due to increase morbidity and thus increases the use of medications by the inpatients. This study will clarify the problem of IP for elderly people during hospitalization and will identify the different types of it. It also will highlight some tools that are used to assess the different types of IP and the prevalence of it in elderly patients during hospitalization. Finally, the study will address the consequences of IP in the elderly inpatients and the risks associated with the use of some potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) in the elderly.

Objectives: To investigate national trends in percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube placement for hospitalized elderly patients from 1993to 2003. Methods: Retrospective analysis of patients ≥65 years of age with PEG tube placement from 1993 to 2003 from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) database was utilized to calculate PEG placement rates per 1000 people. Results: Placement of PEG tube increased by 38% in elderly patients during the study period, from 2.71 procedures during hospitalization per 1000 people to 3.75 procedures during hospitalization per 1,000 people. Placement of PEG tube in patients with Alzheimer’s dementia doubled (5%-10%) over the study period. Conclusion: Over a 10-year period, PEG tube use in hospitalized elderly patients increased significantly. More importantly, approximately 1 in 10 PEG tube placements occurred in patients with dementia.

Objective: To examine the relationship between administration of selected medications and falls experienced by hospitalized elderly patients. Benzodiazepines and other medications previously associated with falls in elderly patients residing in the community and nursing homes were the primary focus. Design: Retrospective case control. Setting: Private, not-for-profit, 575-bed acute care hospital. Participants: A total of 100 patients who had fallen and 100 control patients, aged at least 70 years, admitted during the same 17-month time period. Main Outcome Measures: We examined the relationship between falls and patient demographics, underlying disease states, number of concurrent disease states, and length of hospitalization. Possible associations between the administration of narcotics, benzodiazepines, antidepressants, antipsychotics, other sedating agents, antihypertensives, diuretics, nitrates, and digoxin 48 hours prior to the fall or reference day were explored. The relationships between benzodiazepine half-life, dosage, administration frequency, cumulative dose, and falls were also examined. Results: Demographically the groups were similar except that patients who had fallen were hospitalized significantly longer (mean 18.8 vs 12.2 d; p < 0.00001) than control patients. Benzodiazepines were received by more (40% vs 20%, odds ratio = 2.67) patients who had fallen than control patients. The use of long (>24 h) half-life benzodiazepines was similar in patients who had fallen (48%) and control patients (45%). Long half-life benzodiazepines were commonly administered (65%) to patients who had fallen in doses greater than that recommended for the elderly. Benzodiazepine use, expressed as milligrams of diazepam equivalents received during the 48-hour study, was higher in patients who had fallen than in control patients (15.00 ± 17.80 vs 9.73 ± 6.58 mg), but this was not statistically significant (p = 0.1030). Congestive heart failure (37% vs 24%), digoxin therapy (35% vs 22%), or administration of 3 or more psychoactive agents (17% vs 4%) were all more common in patients who had fallen than in control patients. Conclusions: Falls experienced by the elderly patients in our acute care institution were associated with the presence of congestive heart failure along with digoxin therapy, benzodiazepine use, or the use of at least 3 psychoactive agents.

Background: Health-related behaviours affect the preservation and maintenance of health. They form a important part of the everyday life of all individuals including the elderly. Some of the most significant factors affecting health are eating habits, physical activity, and the ability to handle stress and limiting the use of substances. Aim of the study: The aim of this paper was to assess the effect of health-related behaviours on nutrition in hospitalized elderly patients. Material and Methods: The study population consisted of 151 subjects over 60 years old. The study tools included a diagnostic survey, the Health Behaviour Inventory and the Mini Nutritional Assessment. Statistical significance for differences and strength of correlation between the variables was set at p<0.05. Results: The general indicator of health behaviour was higher among women (88.78±13.82 vs. 83.55±12.93; p=0.01). The analysis of health behaviour showed significant differences between men and women in relation to good eating habits (p=0.01) and prophylactic behaviour (p=0.01). Conclusions: Elderly people who followed a proper diet, which included fruit and vegetables, and avoided food with preservatives, were better nourished. A positive attitude was connected with the state of nutrition. Wellnourished status can be observed among the elderly who have positive attitude, avoid anger, anxiety and depression, and have friends and a stable family life.

Iron constitutes the most prevalent nutritional deficiency worldwide. In Chile, anaemia epidemiological data is scarce, evaluating mainly children and women. Our objective was to determine prevalence of anaemia in an inpatient elderly population (≥60 years) and assess the usefulness of sTfR levels analyzed by other authors as a good predictor in the differential diagnosis of iron deficiency anaemia and anaemia of chronic disease.Method.We studied medical patients admitted at Hospital of Valdivia (HV), Chile, in a 2month period. World Health Organization criteria were used for anaemia.Results.391 patients were hospitalized, average age 62.5 years, 247 elderly and 99 of which had anaemia. Anaemia was normocytic in 88.8%, and we observed: low serum iron in 46.3%, low ferritin 10.1%, high TIBC 2%, low % transferrin saturation (Tsat) 40%, and high sTfR 25%.Conclusions.As a first figure known in Chile, the prevalence of anaemia in the elderly inpatient was 40.1%. Our findings encourage us to promote the implementation of sTfR determination in the clinical setting to analyze the state of erythropoiesis in patients with chronic diseases wich commonly occurs in elderly.
