Frailty in elderly people

TL;DR: Developing more efficient methods to detect frailty and measure its severity in routine clinical practice would greatly inform the appropriate selection of elderly people for invasive procedures or drug treatments and would be the basis for a shift in the care of frail elderly people towards more appropriate goal-directed care.
Journal ArticleDOI

The influence of fear of falling on gait and balance in older people

TL;DR: The lower gait velocity in the FoF group may be a useful adaptation to optimise balance, rather than a sign of decreased balance control.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comprehensive geriatric assessment and its clinical impact in oncology.

TL;DR: The conceptualization of geriatric syndromes, their relationship to CGA and results of clinical studies using CGA in oncology are summarized, and functional performance scores and dependency at home appeared to be independent predictive factors for toxicity, similar to depressive symptoms and polypharmacy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gait velocity and the Timed-Up-and-Go test were sensitive to changes in mobility in frail elderly patients.

TL;DR: At group level, gait velocity and TUG were, from all investigated tests, most sensitive to change and in this perspective the best outcome variables.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical symptoms, signs and tests for identification of impending and current water‐loss dehydration in older people

TL;DR: To determine the diagnostic accuracy of state (one time), minimally invasive clinical symptoms, signs and tests to be used as screening tests for detecting water-loss dehydration in older people by systematically reviewing studies that have measured a reference standard and at least one index test in people aged 65 years and over.
