Prevalence of and Risk Factors for Urinary Incontinence in Home Hospice Patients
Publication date: Available online 25 October 2018Source: European UrologyAuthor(s): Bilal Chughtai, Dominique Thomas, David Russell, Kathryn Bowles, Holly PrigersonAbstractUrinary incontinence (UI) is a debilitating and embarrassing condition that is prevalent among aging males and females. Little is known about UI in the home hospice setting. We sought to determine UI prevalence and risk factors in a cohort of 15 432 home hospice patients over 4 yr. Most of the study patients were female (59%) and aged ≥75 yr. This was a retrospective observational study and no patients were excluded. The median length o...

1-Minute Sit-to-Stand Test: SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF PROCEDURES, PERFORMANCE, AND CLINIMETRIC PROPERTIES.
CONCLUSIONS: The literature provides considerable support for using the 1-MSTST to quantify exercise capacity. Broader use of this test may be indicated, particularly where space and time are limited. PMID: 30489442 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Relationship Between Newly Established Perioperative DNR Status and Perioperative Outcomes in the Elderly Population: A NSQIP Database Analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: The initiation of a new DNR status during hospitalization is associated with a significantly higher burden of both morbidity and mortality. This contrasts with prior studies that did not show an increased rate of adverse outcomes and suggests that a new DNR status in postoperative patients may reflect a consequence of adverse postoperative events. The informed consent process in older patients at risk for adverse outcomes after surgery should include discussions regarding goals of care and acceptable risk.

Hemodynamic effects of ivabradine use in combination with intravenous inotropic therapy in advanced heart failure
AbstractIntravenous inotropic therapy can be used in patients with advanced heart failure, as palliative therapy or as a bridge to cardiac transplantation or mechanical circulatory support, as well as in cardiogenic shock. Their use is limited to increasing cardiac output in low cardiac output states and reducing ventricular filling pressures to alleviate patient symptoms and improve functional class. Many advanced heart failure patients have sinus tachycardia as a compensatory mechanism to maintain cardiac output. However, excessive sinus tachycardia caused by intravenous inotropes can increase myocardial oxygen consumpti...

The Attitudes of Physicians and the General Public toward Prognostic Disclosure of Different Serious Illnesses: a Korean Nationwide Study.
CONCLUSION: Most Physicians and the general public agreed that disclosure of a terminal prognosis respects patient autonomy for several serious illnesses. The low response rate of physicians might limit the generalizability of the results. PMID: 33289368 [PubMed - in process]

Improving Access to Specialist Palliative Care for Patients with Catastrophic Strokes: A Quality Improvement Project to Trigger Inpatient Palliative Care Consultations (QI730)
The American Stroke Association strongly recommends palliative care for patients hospitalized with catastrophic strokes to improve shared decision-making and relieve suffering. An automatic trigger to consider a consult for these patients may improve access to palliative care. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) is a good predictor of short- and long-term outcomes and high scores (>= 20) are associated with poorer prognosis.

Age and Life-Sustaining Treatment Preferences in Parkinson Disease
Conclusions Advancing age in PD may correlate with paradoxically more aggressive goals as it relates to life-sustaining treatment preferences including cardiopulmonary resuscitation. This may reflect a response to heightened concern among older adults with PD about the potential for compromised autonomy in the setting of aging.

11 Hospice and palliative care for advanced cardiac diseases in hong kong
Advanced cardiac diseases are common non-cancer conditions that require good palliative care. Palliative Care should embrace both cancer and non-cancer conditions, and is applicable early in the course of illness, in conjunction with other therapies. There is a high prevalence of symptoms and distress in heat failure (HF) necessitating palliative care, which include not just dyspnoea and oedema but also a range of other symptoms that are all sub-optimally controlled at the end of life.1 For patients with HF, palliative care attends to physical, psychological, social and spiritual distress, caring for both patients and fam...

Hospice Composition Based on Diagnosis is Associated with Caregiver-Reported Quality Measures
Conclusion: Hospices that cared for a greater proportion of dementia and stroke patients had poorer scores on caregiver-reported quality measures. These findings support efforts to identify mechanisms underlying these differences and to design strategies to ensure optimal outcomes for hospice patients regardless of diagnosis.PMID:35442840 | DOI:10.1177/10499091221088497
