A scoping review of the changing landscape of Geriatric Medicine in undergraduate medical education: curricula, topics and teaching methods
(2021)Purpose: The world’s population is ageing. Therefore, every doctor should receive geriatric medicine training during their undergraduate education. This review aims to summarise recent developments in geriatric medicine ... -
Exploring bi-directional temporal associations between timed-up-and-go and cognitive domains in The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA)
(2022)Introduction: The bi-directional longitudinal associations between mobility and cognition in older adults are poorly understood. Our objective was to study the temporal associations between timed-up-and-go (TUG) and five ... -
A systematic review of persistent symptoms and residual abnormal functioning following acute COVID-19: Ongoing symptomatic phase vs. post-COVID-19 syndrome
(2021)Objective: To compare the two phases of long COVID, namely ongoing symptomatic COVID-19 (OSC; signs and symptoms from 4 to 12 weeks from initial infection) and post-COVID-19 syndrome (PCS; signs and symptoms beyond 12 ... -
A linear regression-based machine learning pipeline for the discovery of clinically relevant correlates of gait speed reserve from multiple physiological systems
(2021)Frailty in older adults is characterized by reduced physiological reserve. Gait speed reserve (GSR: maximum minus usual gait speed) could help identify frailty and act as a proxy for physiological reserve. Utilizing data ... -
Alluvial visualization and computation of probabilities of transitions in frailty index states over an 8-year period using multi-state Markov models
(2021)The Frailty Index (FI) is an operationalization of frailty in older adults based on the accumulation of health deficits. FI cut-offs define the non-frail, prefrail and frail states. We described longitudinal transitions ...
