Abstract

To determine if body mass index (BMI = weight/height2), predictive of mortality in seriously ill hospitalized and institutionalized patients, is also predictive of mortality in a longitudinal epidemiologic study.A prospective cohort study.Rovereto, a town in northern Italy.A consecutive sample of 214 patients aged 81.2 +/- 7.3 years receiving community care services.Malnutrition and mortality.According to logistic regression analysis, malnutrition status, expressed by a BMI22 Kg/m2, was correlated with dependency in Activity of Daily Living (odds ratio 1.21; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.01-1.45). Only a low BMI was associated with 1-year survival in Cox regression analysis, after adjusting for potential confounders (relative risk 0.85; 95%CI, 0.74-0.97). A high BMI (27 Kg/m2) was not significantly related to risk of mortality.Nutrition variables are a cardinal component of comprehensive geriatric assessment. Our results suggest that BMI, a simple anthropometric measure of nutritional status, is an important predictor of mortality among older people living in the community. Even when controlling for clinical and functional variables, a low BMI remained a significant and independent predictor of shortened survival.

Abstract

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effect of medical indicators of health status on functional gain during rehabilitation of frail older patients. DESIGN: Observational study. SETTING: A hospital geriatric rehabilitation department (Catholic University of Rome). PARTICIPANTS: Two hundred forty-four older patients admitted consecutively for rehabilitation after acute illnesses between March 1999 and June 2000. MEASUREMENTS: Patients were evaluated with the Minimum Data Set for Post-Acute Care (MDS-PAC) assessment form soon after the admission and every 2 weeks thereafter. Two summary scales based on MDS-PAC items are designed to describe the performance in personal activities of daily living (ADLs) and the level of cognitive function (Cognitive Performance Scale). To identify predictors of functional recovery, we constructed a multiple logistic regression model having as a dependent variable the improvement of one or more points in the ADL scale. RESULTS: Patients aged 85 and older with cognitive or sensory impairment were less likely to significantly improve physical functioning after an intensive rehabilitation program. However, the cognitive impairment was the only “negative” factor that remained significant in a multivariable model (odds ratio = 0.36, 95% confidence interval = 0.14–0.92) after adjusting for several potential negative predictors. CONCLUSIONS: The results of the present study document that severe cognitive impairment may be considered a negative predictor of functional recovery after a period of intensive rehabilitation. However, the effectiveness of such a rehabilitation program in patients with dementia is controversial. Additional studies are necessary to better clarify the effect of cognitive impairment on the potential recovery of the older subjects after a period of rehabilitation and whether this is influenced by different pathologies.

Abstract

Atrial septal defect (ASD) is one of the most common congenital cardiac anomalies in adults. Life expectancy is shortened, and almost 90% of patients die by the age of 60 years. The progression of this congenital disease to congestive heart failure has been related to several factors such as the onset of pulmonary hypertension, arrhythmias, bronchopulmonary infections, or the development of other cardiovascular disease. We describe three cases of very old patients with significant ASDs and late development of symptoms. Given the higher risks and poorer long-term results of surgical closure of the defect in advanced age, the indications for such an intervention in elderly patients should be carefully evaluated.
