The association between clinical frailty and walking speed in older hospitalised medical patients: a retrospective observational study
(2017)This study aims to further evaluate the use of the clinical frailty scale (CFS) by assessing its correlation with usual walking speed (UWS) in older medical inpatients. Methods Retrospective observational study in an English ... -
The association between cognitive impairment and functional outcome in hospitalised older patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis
(2017)Background: in hospitalised older adults, cognitive impairments are common and may be associated with functional outcomes. Our aim was to systematically review this association.Method: we systematically searched MEDLINE, ... -
Association between low serum vitamin d and Increased mortality and severity due to COVID-19: reverse causality?
(2022)We are very close to completing two years since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Even though vaccines have been developed and applied to more than 4 billion people in the world, SARS-CoV-2 continues to be a challenge ... -
Association of cognition with functional trajectories in patients admitted to geriatric wards: a retrospective observational study
(2017)Aim: Impaired cognition is common among older patients admitted to acute hospitals, but its association with functional trajectories has not been well studied. Methods: A retrospective observational study was carried ... -
The association of geriatric syndromes with hospital outcomes
(2017)BACKGROUND: Frailty, history of dementia (HoD), and acute confusional states (ACS) are common in older patients admitted to hospital. OBJECTIVE: To study the association of frailty (≥6 points in the Clinical Frailty Scale ... -
Associations between Cardiovascular Signal Entropy and Cognitive Performance over Eight Years
(2021)In this study, the relationship between non-invasively measured cardiovascular signal entropy and global cognitive performance was explored in a sample of community-dwelling older adults from The Irish Longitudinal Study ... -
Associations between cognitive function, actigraphy-based and self-reported sleep in older community-dwelling adults: Findings from the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing
(Wiley, 2020)Objective: Cognitive impairment is prevalent in older ages. Associations with sleep are well established; however, ambiguity remains in which sleep characteristics contribute to this impairment. We examined cross-sectional ... -
Associations between neurocardiovascular signal entropy and physical frailty
(2021)In this cross-sectional study, the relationship between noninvasively measured neurocardiovascular signal entropy and physical frailty was explored in a sample of community-dwelling older adults from The Irish Longitudinal ... -
Autonomic dysfunction in patients with advanced cancer; prevalence, clinical correlates and challenges in assessment.
(2012)Background: The results of a small number of studies of autonomic function in patients with advanced cancer suggest that autonomic dysfunction (AD) is common. In other disease-specific groups this is associated with decreased ... -
Autonomic function and depression in older adults
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Medicine. Discipline of Medical Gerontology, 2013)The principle aims of this doctoral investigation were to provide new insights into the relationship between depression and cardiovascular disease (CVD) by investigating the functioning of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) ... -
Autonomic influences on cognitive impairment : determinants of conversion to dementia
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Medicine. Discipline of Medical Gerontology, 2012)Neuropathological, neurochemical and multimodal neuroimaging studies suggest that components of the central autonomic network are affected by the neurodegenerative changes of Alzheimer’s pathology in Mild Cognitive Impairment ... -
Autonomic influences on cognitive performance at a population level
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Medicine. Discipline of Medical Gerontology, 2014)The principle aims of this doctoral investigation were to provide new insights into the relationship between cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cognitive performance, by investigating the function of the autonomic nervous ... -
Biomarker Signatures of Two Phenotypical Pre-Frailty Types in The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing
(2022)Abstract: We investigated the biomarker signatures of two previously reported phenotypical prefrailty (PF) types in the first wave of The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA): PF1 (unexplained weight loss and/or ... -
Biomarkers of delirium risk in older adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis
(2023)Delirium is a neuropsychiatric syndrome associated with increased morbidity and mortality in older patients. The aim of this study was to review predictive biomarkers of delirium in older patients to gain insights into ... -
Blood Pressure Signal Entropy as a Novel Marker of Physical Frailty: Results from the FRAILMatics Clinical Cohort
(2022)In this study we investigated the association between information entropy in short length blood pressure signals and physical frailty status, in a group of patients aged 50+ recruited from the Falls and Syncope Unit at ... -
Breastfeeding and risk of overweight and obesity at nine years of age
(2012)Whether breastfeeding is protective against the development of childhood overweight and obesity remains the subject of considerable debate. Although a number of meta-analyses and syntheses of the literature have concluded ... -
Building resilience and reversing frailty: a randomised controlled trial of a primary care intervention for older adults
(2023)Background: There is a need for effective primary care interventions that help older people combat frailty and build resilience. Objective: To study the effectiveness of an optimised exercise and dietary protein ...
