Filter by:This study will collect perioperative pain-related data of elderly patients in multi-centers. Analyzing these collected data to find the high-risk factors of postoperative pain in elderly patients and to establish an early-warning model of perioperative pain in elderly patients, so as to improve the ability of assessing the risks of postoperative pain in elderly patients and providing an early warning.
Sleep disorder and delirium are common problems in intensive care unit (ICU) patients, and may lead to poor prognosis. The investigators' previous study showed that nighttime infusion of low-dose dexmedetomidine improved the sleep quality and decreased the incidence of delirium in ICU patients after surgery. Long-term follow-up of these patients showed that low-dose dexmedetomidine also improved 2-year survival and the quality of life in 3-year survivors. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of low-dose dexmedetomidine on the long-term outcome of elderly patients admitted to the ICU after noncardiac surgery.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) are highly prevalent chronic respiratory diseases in the Veteran population. OSA co-occurring with COPD, known as Overlap Syndrome (OVS), is a complex chronic medical condition associated with grave consequences. OVS is highly prevalent in Veterans. Veterans with OVS may be at increased risk for cognitive deficits, poor sleep quality as well as a reduced quality of life (QoL). The overall objective is to study the effects of positive airway pressure therapy on clinical outcomes in patients with OVS.
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Annual incidence increases with age and achieves more than 30 per 100 000 patients 65 years old or over. Despite high response rates with conventional regimen as R-CHOP (Rituximab, Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, Vincristine and Prednisone), 30% to 40% of patients develop a relapse or a refractory disease, with a poor prognosis. There is no standard chemotherapy in second line for elderly patients, which are not eligible to receive a salvage treatment by high-dose therapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation. The median progression-free-survival (PFS) is less than one year with the most commonly used regimens including R-Gemcitabine-Oxaliplatin (R-GEMOX) and R-Bendamustine. One the other side, Rituximab plus Lenalidomide, an immunomodulatory agent, is an active new therapeutic approach, with an efficacy proved in a phase II trial with a patients with a prolonged disease-free-survival of 32 months for responders in patients with a median age of 74 years old. This combination is also efficient in the ABC phenotype DLBCL which is more common in elderly patients. For elderly patients, a management of the geriatric impairment together with lymphoma is required. Indeed, a comprehensive geriatric assessment detects frailty and vulnerability in elderly with a lymphoma and predicts severe treatment related toxicity, treatment settings and progression free survival. Moreover, geriatric intervention improved outcome, autonomy and quality of life. Functional status, assessed by Activities of patients Daily Living (ADL) is an independent predictive factor for feasibility of chemotherapy in elderly patients with cancer. The mini Data Set of DIALOG group is a new simplified geriatric assessment for oncologist.
Study Type and Design Prospective, Observational Study Rivaroxaban in Elderly AF patients with or without renal impairment in Korea This study will investigate effectiveness and safety in elderly patients, the result from well-designed and high-quality prospective clinical registry collected through real-world clinical practice is expected to resolve current medical unmet needs of rivaroxaban in Korean elderly patients. Primary Study Objective(s) To investigate the effectiveness of rivaroxaban in elderly patients with NVAF, with or without renal impairment in Korea real-world clinical practice settings Secondary Study Objective(s) To see safety outcome including major bleeding, clinically non-major bleeding, all-cause mortality rivaroxaban in subgroup based on risk factor(eg. Renal impairment) physicians' treatment pattern in rivaroxaban
About 18% of independent people over 65 who are evaluated in Emergency Departments for minor injuries (fractures, sprains) present some mobility decline up to 3 to 6 months postinjury. People at risk of decline are prefrail or frail; this condition could be explained by muscle proprieties loss. Exercise is a proven method that can help limit frailty and allow to restore mobility. The aim of our study is to evaluate whether a suitable exercise program of one hour, twice a week for 12 weeks will limit functional losses & fragility in injured older adults after their emergency department visit.
In communities with over 100,000 residents, to investigate the incidence and mechanisms of fall in elderly, and strategies of fall prevention.
The CARTIER study is a randomized, multicenter, open-label clinical trial comparing, in elderly patients with cancer under anti-tumoral treatment, two different cardiotoxicity prevention strategies: primary (intensive cardiovascular monitoring focused on prevention and early diagnosis and treatment of cardiotoxicity based in cardio-onco-hematology teams involved in cancer patient care) vs. secondary (current clinical practice where intensive cardiovascular monitoring is not routinely performed and cardiotoxicity patient care is based on the onco-hematologist criteria). The primary endpoint is to determine whether this primary prevention englobing cardiovascular monitoring plus intensive multidisciplinary management is superior to the current clinical practice in reducing all cause mortality. Other secondary objectives of the study are to analyze the impact of this intensive cardiovascular monitoring strategy on the incidence of cardiovascular mortality, oncological mortality, hospitalization and/or urgent care due to cardiovascular complications, hospitalization and/or urgent oncological care due to cancer complications, tumor progression and cost-effectiveness analysis. A total of 514 patients ≥ 65 years old diagnosed with any of the following onco-hematological cancers, colon, breast, lymphoma, chronic lymphoma leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia or myeloma, undergoing standardized anti-tumoral treatment, will be recruited. The incidence of primary and secondary outcomes will be measured at 2 and 5 years
To document levels of cardiac troponin hsTnT in patients above 75y undergoing high risk surgery and the relationship between elevated levels and outcome in terms of hospital stay and 30 day mortality.
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is reported to be able to improve the outcomes for elderly acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in complete remission (CR). At present, the best conditioning regimen for elderly AML in CR remains in discussion. In this prospective study, the safety and efficacy of Dec+Flu+Bu myeloablative conditioning regimens in patients with elderly AML in CR undergoing allo-HSCT are evaluated.
