lder adults. Older adults are an increasing proportion of patients admitted to trauma services. Trauma in older adults' results from many mechanisms of injury with the distribution of mechanisms of injury among older adults different than those of younger adults. The acute management of these injuries may determine the patients' ability to return to independent living. Tertiapin-Q It is known that prolonged immobilization of older patients results in deterioration of their functional status and increases the likelihood of hospital acquired complications, notably pneumonia, delirium, and loss of ambulation. We reviewed 213 patients aged 65 and older admitted to our trauma services who sustained cervical spine injuries that were either placed in c spine immobilization or were not to understand the outcomes associated with their mechanism of injury. The youngest patients (65-74 years) were proportionately more likely to have sustained high energy injuries associated with motor vehicle crashes (36%) with a mortality rate of 11.5%. line should be enhanced for the older adult trauma population. This study aims to appraise and summarize consistent recommendations from clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for identification and management of frailty to maintain and improve functional independence of elderly population. A systematic search of Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, PubMed, PsycINFO, and CINAHL electronic databases using database-specific search terms in two broad areas "guidelines" and "frailty", and a manual search of websites with the key phrase "frailty guideline" was performed. The inclusion criteria included CPGs focusing on identifying and managing frailty in population >65 years old, published in English since January 2010. Three reviewers independently assessed guideline quality using the AGREE II instrument. Data extraction was performed, followed by compilation and comparison of all recommendations to identify the key consistent recommendations. Six CPGs met the inclusion criteria; however, only three CPGs had high methodological quality in accordance with AGREE II appraisal. The averay. The feasibility in implementing these guidelines with regards to cost-effectiveness of frailty screening warrants further investigation. To determine the overlapping prevalence of malnutrition and sarcopenia and the association between parameters of malnutrition with muscle mass and strength in a community-dwelling Singaporean adult population. This was a cross-sectional study. Large north-eastern residential town of Yishun in Singapore. Random sampling of community-dwelling Singaporeans aged 21-90 years old (n=541). Anthropometry, body composition and handgrip strength (muscle strength) were measured. Sarcopenia was identified using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry scan (muscle mass). Nutritional status was measured using Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA-SF). Other questionnaires collected included physical activity and cognition. Associations between nutritional status with sarcopenia as well as with muscle mass and strength were analysed using multinomial logistics and linear regressions. The overall population-adjusted prevalence of those at nutritional risk and malnourished were 18.5% and 0.1% respectively. More than a third oppropriate interventions to mitigate risk of adverse health outcomes. During the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak, malnutrition may contribute to COVID-19 adverse outcomes. We conducted a clinical epidemiological analysis to investigate the association of malnutrition with hospitalized duration in patients with COVID-19. Retrospective survey study. Taikang Tongji (Wuhan) hospital in Wuhan, China. 139 patients with COVID-19. In total, 139 patients with COVID-19 from patients in the Infection Department of Taikang Tongji (Wuhan) hospital from February 2020 to April 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. We used the "Global leadership Initiative on Malnutrition(GLIM)" assessment standard published in 2019 to assess nutritional status. Prolonged hospitalization was lasting more than the median value of the hospitalized days (17 days) in this population. According to the assessment results of GLIM nutrition assessment, the patients were divided into malnutrition group and normal nutrition group. Compared with the patients in the normal nutrition group, the hospiection, to whom extra attentions and precautions should be paid during clinical treatments. Based on the existing results, it is recommended that inpatients with nutritional risk or malnutrition start nutritional support treatment as soon as possible. To examine the association between the severity of oral frailty (OF), which is one of the comprehensive oral functions evaluated, and dietary variety in community-dwelling older persons. Cross-sectional study. Community-based. A total of 769 community-dwelling older persons aged 65 and over. We examined basic demographic information, functional status, cognitive status, depressive symptoms, medical history, and oral functions of the participants. OF was defined by 1-2 and 3 or more of 6 items of oral function evaluation in the pre-oral frailty and oral frailty groups, respectively. Dietary variety was assessed using the dietary variety score (DVS). The participants were categorized into 3 groups for evaluation those with a low score (0-2), medium score (3-5), and high score (≥6). Ordinal logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the association between OF and DVS. The rate of OF in the participants was 21.6%, and its severity was significantly associated with DVS after adjusting for potential confounders (Pre-OF; adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 1.687, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.219-2.335, OF; adjusted OR = 2.857, 95% CI = 1.489-5.484). The severity of OF was significantly associated with DVS in community-dwelling older persons. This suggests that DVS may be useful in understanding the effects of OF on the nutritional status. Further longitudinal studies are needed to elucidate the association between OF and DVS.The severity of OF was significantly associated with DVS in community-dwelling older persons.
