Multifactorial Examination of Caregiver Burden in a National Sample of Family and Unpaid Caregivers
CONCLUSIONCaregiver characteristics and provision of caregiving tasks determine caregiver burden more than care recipient characteristics. Absence of an association between type of a care recipient's chronic conditions and burden, except for dementia, suggests that the tasks that caregivers who assist older adults with a variety of health conditions undertake shape the experience of caregiving.

Effect of Hospitalizations on Physical Activity Patterns in Mobility ‐Limited Older Adults
CONCLUSIONParticipating in a PA intervention before hospitalization had expected benefits, but participants remained susceptible to hospitalization's detrimental effects on their daily activity levels. There was no evidence of better activity recovery after hospitalization. (Source: Journal of the American Geriatrics Society)

Management of Acute Changes in Condition in Skilled Nursing Facilities
CONCLUSIONSA wide variety of acute changes in condition can be managed in SNFs without hospital transfer. Most of these changes are nonspecific and multiple, and when they are associated with hospital transfer, the reasons for the transfer are most often different from the initial acute change in condition. These data highlight the multifactorial nature of acute changes in condition in the SNF population and suggest that disease ‐specific protocols and assessment tools may not be the most appropriate approach to managing acute changes in condition in the SNF setting.

Mild Cognitive Impairment that Does Not Progress to Dementia: A Population ‐Based Study
ConclusionsMCI subgroups with different 5 ‐year outcomes had some distinct characteristics suggesting different underlying causes. The progressors, unlike the reverters, had a profile broadly typical of Alzheimer's disease; the stable MCIs had other, including vascular, morbidity. These data shed light on the heterogeneity of MCI in the p opulation. (Source: Journal of the American Geriatrics Society)

Estimated Pulmonary Artery Systolic Pressure and Mortality in Older ‐Elderly Heart Failure Patients
CONCLUSIONHigh ePASP is a significant predictor of 1 ‐year mortality in individuals aged 80 and older with acute HF but not in those younger than 80. Elucidation of the pathophysiological mechanisms behind these findings should facilitate the development of more effective individualized therapies for older adults with acute HF.
