Frailty syndrome and sedative load of drugs
(Serdi Edition, 2014) -
Frailty, depression and anxiety in later life.
(2012)Background: Anxiety and depression are common in older people but are often missed; to improve detection we must focus on those elderly people at risk. Frailty is a geriatric syndrome inferring increased risk of poor outcomes. ... -
Frequency of Long QT in Patients with SARS-CoV-2 Infection Treated with Hydroxychloroquine: a Meta-analysis
(2020)Introduction: Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) has been proposed as a SARS-CoV-2 treatment but the frequency of long QT (LQT) during use is unknown. Objective: To conduct a meta-analysis of the frequency of LQT in patients with ... -
Frequent inaccuracies in ABCD(2) scoring in non-stroke specialists' referrals to a daily Rapid Access Stroke Prevention service.
(2013)Abstract The ‘accuracy’ of age, blood pressure, clinical features, duration and diabetes (ABCD2) scoring by non-stroke specialists referring patients to a daily Rapid Access Stroke Prevention (RASP) service is unclear, ... -
Functional Analysis of Continuous, High-Resolution Measures in Ageing Research: A Demonstration using Cerebral Oxygenation Data from The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing
(2020)Background: A shift towards the dynamic measurement of physiologic resilience and improved technology incorporated into experimental paradigms in aging research is producing high-resolution data. Identifying ... -
Functional Analysis of Continuous, High-Resolution Measures in Ageing Research: A Demonstration using Cerebral Oxygenation Data from The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing
(2020)Background: A shift towards the dynamic measurement of physiologic resilience and improved technology incorporated into experimental paradigms in aging research is producing high-resolution data. Identifying the most ... -
Functional clustering of continuous cardiovascular and brain oxygenation signals during an active stand test in The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA)
(2023)In this study, we performed K-shape functional clustering of two non-invasive continuous cardiovascular (systolic Blood Pressure: sBP) and brain oxygenation (left frontal lobe Tissue Saturation Index: TSI) times series ... -
Functional Mobility Trajectories of Hospitalized Older Adults Admitted to the Acute Geriatric Wards: A Retrospective Observational Study in an English University Hospital
(2019)Aim: The mobility trajectories of hospitalized older people are heterogeneous, and there is a need to understand patient groups with similar trajectories. Our aims were to identify mobility trajectories of older patients ... -
The future cost of stroke in Ireland: an analysis of the potential impact of demographic change and implementation of evidence-based therapies
(2013)Background and purpose: this paper examines the impact of demographic change from 2007 to 2021 on the total cost of stroke in Ireland and analyses potential impacts of expanded access to stroke unit care and thrombolytic ... -
The giants of education in geriatric medicine and gerontology
(2022)In 2014, the European undergraduate curriculum in Geriatric Medicine was published to cover the minimum requirements that a medical student should achieve by the end of medical school. In 2019, the European postgraduate ... -
Grey matter volume in the right Angular Gyrus is associated with differential patterns of multisensory integration with ageing
(Elsevier BV, 2020)Multisensory perception might provide an important marker of brain function in ageing. However, the cortical structures supporting multisensory perception in ageing are poorly understood. In this study, we compared regional ... -
Growing Up in Ireland - National Longitudinal Study of Children: Overweight and Obesity Among 9-Year-Olds
(Stationery Office, 2011) -
Haemodynamic Parameters Underlying the Relationship Between Sarcopenia and Blood Pressure Recovery on Standing
(2023)Background: Sarcopenia, delayed blood pressure (BP) recovery following standing, and orthostatic hypotension (OH) pose significant clinical challenges associated with ageing. While prior studies have established a link ... -
Haemodynamic stroke and transient ischaemic attack secondary to neurocardiovascular instability
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Medicine. Discipline of Medical Gerontology, 2014)Introduction: Presyncope or syncope are regarded as benign conditions. In patients with severe large artery disease, hypotension may potentiate infarction, specifically in low-flow vulnerable, borderzone regions of the ... -
Hand-held dynamometry: tester strength is paramount, even in frail populations.
(2011)To determine test-retest and inter-rater reliability of hand-held dynamometry when used to measure knee--extensor strength in patients with advanced cancer. SUBJECTS: Adults with metastatic or locally advanced cancer ... -
Health and aging: development of the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing.
(2013)To assist researchers planning studies similar to The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA), concerning the development of the health assessment component, to promote use of the archived data set, to inform researchers ... -
Health and social factors associated with a delayed discharge amongst inpatients in acute geriatric wards: A retrospective observational study
(2018)Aim: In the English National Health Service there is an increasing interest in understanding the factors associated with delayed discharges in older hospitalized adults. The present study sought to analyze whether clinical ...
