More than 1 in 3 older inpatients in this study were dehydrated.
Dehydrated patients: 13% higher odds of falling (OR 1.13, P=.002).
↳ Dehydration is cheap to fix - but easy to miss.

⇉ Do you check fluid status on every ward round?

Emergency Department (ED) staff: screen ALL patients over 65 for delirium.
Emergency departments are where it's most missed and most dangerous.
Make it as routine as checking blood pressure.

🧠 #Delirium is one of the strongest prognostic indicators we have.
That alone means that effective delirium detection processes at the front door/ED = an obligation.

☑️ New research in @Age_and_Ageing
⭐️The 4AT is more than a #delirium tool: a score of ≥1 has an 87% sensitivity for known #dementia in older hospital patients.
➡️ Could assist in identifying dementia in hospital inpatients.

Your loved one's post-surgery new confusion isn't "just old age."
It's likely #delirium.
A treatable condition.

1.8% of patients CFS 6-9 survived to discharge. resuscitationjournal.com/art…
In this study by @lucypgeridoc , those patients who do survive to discharge often have QoL not compatible with their values. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3151…
