TL;DR: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence, clinical features, and the independent impact of frailty, a geriatric syndrome characterized by the decline of physiological systems, on prognosis after heart failure hospitalization.

TL;DR: An analysis of the effectiveness of a multicomponent intervention integrated into daily practice for the prevention of in‐hospital delirium in elderly patients found it to be effective.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the effect of surgical delay on hospital outcomes according to the cause of delay and find that longer delays are associated with higher mortality rates and rates of medical complications.

TL;DR: A majority of older patients hospitalised for acute cardiac conditions in a cardiology department show at least one MGS on admission, and MGSs are associated with poorer inhospital and postdischarge functional and clinical outcomes, particularly in patients with heart failure.

TL;DR: This review provides an evidence base for an ultrasound protocol in the assessment of skeletal muscle with the use of US and creates conditions to further test the applicability of US for use on a large scale as a routine assessment and follow-up tool for appendicular muscle.
