TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that acute renal failure in patients undergoing renal replacement therapy presents an excess risk of in-hospital death.
Abstract: ObjectivesAcute renal failure is a complication in critically ill patients that has been associated with an excess risk of hospital mortality. Whether this reflects the severity of the disease or whether acute renal failure is an independent risk factor is unknown. The aim of this study was to analy

TL;DR: The American Academy of Sleep Medicine and Sleep Research Society developed a consensus recommendation for the amount of sleep needed to promote optimal health in adults, using a modified RAND Appropriateness Method process.
Abstract: Sleep is essential for optimal health. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) and Sleep Research Society (SRS) developed a consensus recommendation for the amount of sleep needed to promote optimal health in adults, using a modified RAND Appropriateness Method process. The recommendation is summarized here. A manuscript detailing the conference proceedings and evidence supporting the final recommendation statement will be published in SLEEP and the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine.

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the definitions and assessment tools on frailty in clinical practice and research was performed, combining evidence derived from a systematic review of literature along with an expert opinion of a European, Canadian and American Geriatric Advisory Panel (GAP).
Abstract: Frailty is a commonly used term indicating older persons at increased risk for adverse outcomes such as onset of disability, morbidity, institutionalisation or mortality or who experience a failure to integrate adequate responses in the face of stress. Although most physicians caring for older people recognize the importance of frailty, there is still a lack of both consensus definition and consensual clinical assessment tools. The aim of the present manuscript was to perform a comprehensive review of the definitions and assessment tools on frailty in clinical practice and research, combining evidence derived from a systematic review of literature along with an expert opinion of a European, Canadian and American Geriatric Advisory Panel (GAP). There was no consensus on a definition of frailty but there was agreement to consider frailty as a pre-disability stage. Being disability a consequence rather than the cause of frailty, frail older people do not necessary need to be disabled. The GAP considered that disability (as a consequence of frailty) should not be included in frailty definitions and assessment tools. Although no consensual assessment tool could be proposed, gait speed could represent the most suitable instrument to be implemented both in research and clinical evaluation of older people, as assessment of gait speed at usual pace is a quick, inexpensive and highly reliable measure of frailty.
