Patient, surgical and hospital factors predicting actual first-day mobilisation after hip fracture surgery: An observational cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: Both non-modifiable and modifiable patient and surgical factors influence first-day mobilisation after hip fracture surgery. Reducing time to surgery might assist future quality improvement efforts to increase Day-1 postoperative mobility.PMID:38616338 | DOI:10.1111/ajag.13312 (Source: Australasian Journal on Ageing)

Social participation in Australian residential aged care: A human rights perspective
This article demonstrates how a human rights-based framework can provide guidance to governments in approaching issues involving the protection of older people's need for social connection in aged care. In doing so, the article considers examples of how the Australian government can ensure choice of living arrangement, individualised support and access to community services and facilities in the residential aged care context to better protect the right to social participation.PMID:38613230 | DOI:10.1111/ajag.13311 (Source: Australasian Journal on Ageing)

Adverse impacts in residential aged care facilities: The resident perspective
CONCLUSIONS: This research highlights the difference between health-care definition, used for incident management reporting and quality indicators, and the way residents respond when asked to describe an incident that has affected them. Resident responses discuss situations having an adverse effect on them in contrast to the way adverse events and incidents are reported and monitored. The findings suggest that within adverse event and incident management systems and resident governance systems, there is scope for incorporating periods of transitions and well-being measures that capture elements that matter to older people....

Mental health outcomes of family carers after admission to aged care: A cross-sectional survey study
CONCLUSIONS: Older women with low-English proficiency who were primary carers and are socially isolated, are more likely to experience poor mental health outcomes and need additional support. These findings may inform the development of screening tools and tailored interventions to support this population during and after the transition process.PMID:38597573 | DOI:10.1111/ajag.13314 (Source: Australasian Journal on Ageing)

Comparison of polypharmacy and potentially inappropriate medication use in older adults with and without dementia receiving residential medication management reviews
CONCLUSIONS: In a study of residents receiving RMMR, polypharmacy and PIMs were highly common, and those with dementia were more likely to be exposed to inappropriate polypharmacy. There is a need for targeted deprescribing strategies to immediately address inappropriate prescribing in residents, particularly those living with dementia.PMID:38581686 | DOI:10.1111/ajag.13316 (Source: Australasian Journal on Ageing)

Prevalence of frailty according to the Hospital Frailty Risk Score and related factors in older patients with acute coronary syndromes in Vietnam
CONCLUSIONS: The HFRS was an effective tool for stratifying frailty and predicting adverse health outcomes in older patients with ACS. Further research is needed to compare the HFRS with other frailty assessment tools in this population.PMID:38576179 | DOI:10.1111/ajag.13307 (Source: Australasian Journal on Ageing)
