This study aims to examine 1) if multicomponent exercise interventions (including both mobility and strengthening exercises) have effects on physical function compared to usual care in older adults, and 2) if a comprehensive multicomponent exercise program is more effective than a simple multicomponent exercise program including only walking and rising from a chair.
Patients after hospital admission would experience the functional decline, so-called Hospital-Associated Disability. This condition could not only impact the patient health function but pose a burden on the family, even more consuming of medical resource in the country. Therefore, in addition to routine rehabilitation program, various bedside exercise programs are provided as an adjunct therapy to prevent functional declination and improve physical mobility for a patient after hospital admission. The aims of the study are conducted to compare the effect of three various bedside exercise programs (exercise based on watching video, oral education and paper sheet) on physical mobility among the hospitalized patients. This is single-blind randomized control study and patients recruited from Tzu-Chi medical center in eastern Taiwan are ranged from 30 to 90 years old. All participants are randomly assigned to three groups (watching video, oral education and paper sheet). Patients in watching video group are provided with theirs 3 to 5 poor physical performance video recorded on the tablet or mobile phone during the rehabilitation program. The other two groups are provided oral education and paper sheet exercise program, respectively. All three groups patients conduct their bedside exercise programs when they return their ward. Physical performance tests are evaluated before the intervention and one or two days before discharge by a physical therapist blinded the groups of patient .
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the current management approach with "intermediate" or "therapeutic" doses of tinzaparin for thromboprophylaxis in hospitalized patients, non on ICU organ support, with confirmed COVID-19.
The real-world electronic health records (EHR) were derived from the hospitalization of Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center (ZOC) of Sun Yat-sen University from 1998-2020 to investigate the ophthalmology diagnosis and treatment activities.
At a national level, emergency departments (EDs) serve as the portal of hospital admission for 75% of hospitalized children. The remainder occur via direct admission, defined as admission to hospital without first receiving care in the hospital's ED. The overall goals of this research are to: (i) implement pediatric direct admission systems at 3 hospitals, (ii) compare the timeliness of healthcare delivery for children who are admitted directly and through emergency departments, (iii) determine which patient populations achieve the greatest benefits from direct admission, and (iv) identify barriers and facilitators of successful implementation.
Bed rest related to hospitalization contributes to the physical decline in capacities of the elderly, the loss of autonomy accelerated in post-hospitalization and the prevalence of the iatrogenic functional decline is about 20 to 50% for the elderly after an hospitalization. Mobilization through physical activity (PA) programs is strongly suggested to counter this phenomenon, but it is not part of the routine clinical hospital practices.The consequences are the functional incapacities, the mobility loss, the re-hospitalization falls and the important use of the health care and health services. In this regard, the Ministry of Health and Social Services adopted in 2011 a framework making mandatory the set up of interventions to prevent the functional decline of hospitalized elderly in every hospital centres in Quebec. The Geriatric Units (GU) admit elderly around 80 years old that present complex health problems. The scientific literature presents effective mobilisation programs to ensure the maintenance of functional capacities and the mobility of frail elderly. However, even with this knowledge, the prescription of physical exercises by the GU does not seem to be integrated in a natural and systematic way by in the professional practices. Our research team would like to implant the clinical tools : MATCH, PATH and PATH 2.0 that is a unique process of systematic prescriptions of physical activity during hospitalization (MATCH), at discharge (PATH) and during hospitalization and at discharge (PATH 2.0) in the GU, adapted to the profile of these patients. The objective of this project is to evaluate the implementation of the clinical tools MATCH, PATH and PATH 2.0 in different GU and to evaluate the tools efficiency and estimate the benefits-cost ratio on the use of post-hospitalization health services. Finally, the conclusions would help us refine the procedures to use in the short and medium term which clinical tool is likely a standard practice our GU and to improve the health continuum of elderly.
Early post-discharge mortality is high among HIV-infected Zambians admitted to the hospital. Likely this is in part due to missed opportunities to identify lethal coinfections and optimize HIV care during admission (and before discharge). In this study the investigators will develop and pilot a new approach to inpatient HIV care that follows international guidelines for management of advanced HIV disease.
Each Investigator will have to record data concerning 70 patients. In particular 40 patients "outliers" and 30 patients "control".
This study is a randomized clinical trial conducted in a medical ward of an acute 580-bedded teaching hospital. One hundred fifty-eight older acute medical patients will be blindly randomly allocated to the control group or intervention group. The intervention will consist of a twice daily walking training, plus privileging trips to the toilet by walking and all daytime meals seated. Differences between groups will be measured at baseline (admission) and discharge. As primary outcomes, we defined the length of stay and the independence level. The independence level will be assessed at baseline (admission) and discharge by two distinct methods: through the Barthel Index and the Patient Classification Systems(PCS).
