The growing number of people living with dementia (PLWD) requires a coordinated clinical response to deliver pragmatic, evidence-based interventions in frontline care settings. However, infrastructure to support such a response is lacking. Moreover, there are too few researchers conducting rigorous embedded pragmatic clinical trials (ePCTs) to make the vision of high quality, widely accessible dementia care a reality. National Institute on Aging (NIA) Imbedded Pragmatic Alzheimer's disease and Related Dementias Clinical Trials (IMPACT) Collaboratory seeks to improve the pipeline of early career researchers qualified to lead ePCTs by funding career development awards...

BACKGROUND: Hypoglycemia from overtreatment is a serious but underrecognized complication among older adults with type 2 diabetes. However, diabetes treatment is seldom deintensified. We assessed the effectiveness of a Clinical Decision Support (CDS) tool and shared decision-making (SDM) in decreasing the number of patients at risk for hypoglycemia and reducing the impact of non-severe hypoglycemic events. METHODS: HypoPrevent was a pre-post, single arm study at a five-site primary care practice...

BACKGROUND: Older populations have suffered the highest rates of SARS-CoV-2 infection and associated complications, including Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC). Frailty is a geriatric syndrome that often coexists with COVID-19 infection. The vulnerability to stressors caused by multisystemic dysfunction that characterizes frailty may predispose older adults to develop PASC. METHODS: Retrospective cohort study using the VA COVID-19 Shared Data Resource to identify US veterans testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 between July 2021 and February 2022, without prior positive tests and who were alive 30 days after infection...

BACKGROUND: Frailty is an important geriatric syndrome predicting adverse health outcomes in older adults. However, the longitudinal characteristics of frailty components in post-hip fracture patients are less understood. Adopting the Fried frailty definition, we examined the longitudinal trends and sex trajectory differences in frailty and its components over 1 year post-fracture. METHODS: Three hundred and twenty-seven hip fracture patients (162 men and 165 women with mean age 80...

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary infection (PI) and urinary tract infection (UTI) have been the most common cause of hospitalization and most frequent infection respectively in older people with disability (OPWD). Long-term care insurance (LTCI) policy, intending to provide services to reduce the disease burden of OPWD, it remains unclear whether LTCI could reduce PI-, and UTI-related hospitalizations. This quasi-experimental study aimed to assess the influences of LTCI on all-cause, especially PI- and UTI-related hospitalizations among OPWD and the variation across sociodemographic characteristics...

INTRODUCTION: Despite a growing number of older lesbian, gay, bisexual transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) adults in the United States, education on care for this vulnerable population has historically been inadequate across all levels of training. This research assessed the extent of LGBTQ education in geriatric medicine fellowship curricula across the United States. METHODS: We designed a survey to anonymously collect information from geriatric medicine fellowship programs on LGBTQ curricular content...

BACKGROUND: Malnutrition may be an important geriatric condition in adults with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), but studies on its prevalence and associated clinical outcomes are limited. The aim of this study was to determine if malnutrition is associated with short-term morbidity and mortality in ambulatory patients with HFpEF. METHODS: We examined 231 patients with a clinical diagnosis of HFpEF seen at two dedicated academic HFpEF programs (Weill Cornell Medicine and Michigan Medicine) from June 2018 to April 2022...

BACKGROUND: The primary aim of the current pilot study was to examine enrollment rate, data completion, usability, acceptance and use of a mobile telehealth application, Brain CareNotes. A secondary aim was to estimate the application's effect in reducing caregiver burden and behavioral and psychological symptoms related to dementia (BPSD). METHODS: Patient-caregiver dyads (n = 53) were recruited and randomized to intervention and control groups. Assessment of usability, acceptance, BPSD symptoms, and caregiver burden were collected at baseline, 3- and 6-month follow-up...

BACKGROUND: Medication related clinical decision support (CDS) interventions may improve patient safety. In older patient populations, there has been effort placed in reducing exposure to potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs). After years of reducing exposure of older adults in our hospitals to PIMs through multi-component interventions, our system chose to expand the scope and attempt a new strategy to lessen alert burden for providers and pharmacists. Based on the American Geriatric Society Beers Criteria and internal data, a passive CDS approach, termed "geriatric context" was established to recommend appropriate medication selection including lower dosage amounts and frequency of administration in older adults...

BACKGROUND: Empowering Veterans to age in place is a Department of Veterans Affairs priority. Family or unpaid caregivers play an important role in supporting Veterans to achieve this goal. Effectively meeting the needs of Veterans and caregivers requires identifying unmet needs and relevant gaps in resources to address those needs. METHODS: Using a modified Socio-Ecological Model, we developed a prospective longitudinal panel design survey. We randomly selected 20,000 community-dwelling Veterans enrolled in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA), across five VHA sites...

BACKGROUND: How psychological resilience influences postoperative outcomes remains poorly characterized. We tested the hypothesis that psychological resilience is associated with lower odds of death or new inability to walk independently and other outcomes at 60 days after hip fracture surgery. METHODS: This was a pre-planned secondary analysis of a multicenter randomized trial comparing spinal versus general anesthesia for hip fracture surgery. We analyzed data on 1360 adults aged 50 years or older who were hospitalized for hip fracture surgery at one of 46 US or Canadian hospitals and provided psychological resilience data preoperatively as measured via the Brief Resilience Scale...

Decision-making capacity describes the ability to make a particular decision at a given time. People with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and mild stage dementia typically experience an associated erosion of their decisional abilities. Many could be said to have marginal capacity. These individuals are in a liminal space between adequate and inadequate capacity. Too often, marginal capacity is overlooked as a category: individuals are classified either as having capacity and being able to make decisions independently or as lacking capacity and needing a surrogate to make decisions for them...
