Cardiovascular risk factors and frailty in a cross-sectional study of older people: implications for prevention.
(2018)Objective: to examine the associations of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cardiovascular risk factors with frailty. Design: a cross-sectional study. Setting: the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA). Participants: ... -
Cardiovascular signal entropy predicts all-cause mortality: evidence from The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA)
(2022)In this study, the relationship between cardiovascular signal entropy and the risk of seven-year all-cause mortality was explored in a large sample of community-dwelling older adults from The Irish Longitudinal Study on ... -
Care home residents admitted to hospital through the emergency pathway: characteristics and associations with inpatient mortality
(2018)Background Routinely collected hospital information could help to understand the characteristics and outcomes of care home residents admitted to hospital as an emergency. Methods This retrospective 2-year ser vice evaluation ... -
Change in perceived stress and 2-year change in cognitive function among older adults: The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing
(Wiley, 2018)Prolonged or severe stress can adversely affect older adults' cognitive function, but population‐based studies investigating this relationship over time are rare. Previous studies have largely focused on stress either ... -
Change in skeletal muscle associated with unplanned hospital admissions in adult patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis
(2019)Objectives: The primary objective of the review was to describe change that occurs in skeletal muscle during periods of unplanned hospitalisation in adult patients. The secondary objective was to examine the relationship ... -
Changes in Muscle Strength and Physical Function in Older Patients During and After Hospitalisation: a Prospective Repeated-Measures Cohort Study
(2020)Aim: To investigate changes in knee-extension strength and physical function in older adults during and after acute hospital admission, and the contributions of illness severity, frailty and sedentary activity to changes ... -
Characterising the Blood Pressure Response to Physical Counterpressure Manoeuvres Using Surface Electromyography in Adults with Long Covid
(2023)Objective: Orthostatic intolerance (OI) is common in Long Covid. Physical counterpressure manoeuvres (PCM) may improve OI in other disorders. We characterised the blood pressure-rising effect of PCM using surface ... -
Characterising the Blood Pressure Response to Physical Counterpressure Manoeuvres Using Surface Electromyography in Adults with Long Covid
(2023)Objective: Orthostatic intolerance (OI) is common in Long Covid. Physical counterpressure manoeuvres (PCM) may improve OI in other disorders. We characterised the blood pressure-rising effect of PCM using surface ... -
Characteristics and outcomes of older persons attending the emergency department: a retrospective cohort study.
(2014)Background: The analysis of routinely collected hospital data informs the design of specialist services for at-risk older people. Aim: Describe the outcomes of a cohort of older emergency department (ED) attendees and ... -
Choice reaction time and subsequent mobility decline: Prospective observational findings from The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA)
(2020)Background: Cognitive and motor function in ageing are intertwined, but whether slower motor response time (MRT) to a cognitive stimulus could herald accelerated mobility decline is unknown. Using data from The Irish ... -
Circulating micronutrient biomarkers are associated with three measures of frailty: Evidence from The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA).
(2019)Objectives: To examine the associations between 3 frailty instruments and circulating micronutrients in a large representative sample of older adults. Design: Cross-sectional data from a nationally representative cohort ... -
Clinical clustering of eight orthostatic haemodynamic patterns in The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA)
(2020)Background: Orthostatic hypotension (OH) can be assessed with non-invasive continuous beat-to-beat haemodynamic monitoring during active stand (AS) testing; this yields large volumes of data outside the scope ... -
Clinical features and mortality predictors of older hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19 in Lima, Per?
(2022)Background and aims. The objective of our study was to describe the clinical features of severe COVID-19 in older (compared to younger) hospitalized patients in a tertiary care centre in Lima, Perú. Methods. A retrospective ... -
Clinical frailty and functional trajectories in hospitalized older adults: a retrospective observational study
(2017)Frailty predicts inpatient mortality and length of stay, but its link to functional trajectories is under-researched. Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, UK, collects the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) within 72 h of admission ... -
Clinical frailty independently predicts early mortality after ischaemic stroke
(2020)Background: Clinical frailty is an important syndrome for clinical care and research, independently predicting mortality and rates of institutionalisation in a range of medical conditions. However, there has been little ... -
Clinical frailty is independently associated with non-prescription of anticoagulants in older patients with atrial fibrillation
(2017)Abstract Aim Anticoagulation is underused in older patients with atrial fibrillation(AF). Scoring systems such as CHA2DS2-VASc and HAS-BLED are recommended to guide clinicians in anticoagulation decisions, ... -
The Clinical Frailty Scale predicts inpatient mortality in older hospitalised patients with idiopathic Parkinson s disease
(2018)Parkinson’s disease and frailty are both common conditions affecting older people. Little is known regarding the association of the Clinical Frailty Scale with hospital outcomes in idiopathic Parkinson’s disease patients ... -
Clustering of behavioural symptoms and their associations with cognitive decline in older adults
(2020)Objectives: To examine (i) the clustering of reduced falls-efficacy, social withdrawal and physical activity withdrawal in Irish adults aged 50 years and older, and (ii) the concurrent and prospective associations of these ... -
Cognitive function in the prefrailty and frailty syndrome
(2014)OBJECTIVES: To explore the relationship between cognitive function and frailty. DESIGN: A cross-sectional study using data from Wave 1 of The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing, a population representative study of ...
