Objectives: To examine delirium, chronic medical problems and sociodemographic factors as predictors of activities of daily living (ADL), basic ADL (BADL) and instrumental ADL (IADL).Methods: A prospective cohort study of four groups of elderly patients examined in the emergency department (ED): those with delirium, dementia, neither, and both. All were aged 66 years or older and living at home. Delirium was assessed with the Confusion Assessment Method and dementia with the Informant Questionnaire on Cognitive Decline in the Elderly. Demographic variables and chronic medical problems were ascertained with questionnaires. Outcome was ADL at 6, 12 and 18 months, measured with the ADL subscale of the Older Americans Resources and Services instrument.Results: Univariate analyses suggested significantly poorer ADL, particularly IADL, at 18 months in the delirium versus the non-delirium group, in the absence of dementia only. Statistically significant independent predictors of poorer ADL at 18 months in the non-dementia groups were poorer initial ADL, stroke, Parkinson's disease, hypertension and female sex. Independent predictors of poorer BADL at 18 months in the non-dementia groups were poorer initial BADL, Parkinson's disease, stroke, cancer, colds/sinusitis/laryngitis, female sex and hypertension. Independent predictors of poorer IADL at 18 months in the non-dementia groups were poorer initial IADL, stroke, never-married status, colds/sinusitis/laryngitis, arthritis and hypertension, with Parkinson's disease showing a non-significant but numerically large regression coefficient.Conclusion: Rather than finding delirium to be a predictor of poorer functional outcome among survivors, we found an interaction between delirium and dementia and several plausible confounders, primarily chronic medical problems, although we cannot rule out the effect of misclassification or survivor bias.

Abstract Background：Vascular factors and mitochondria dysfunction contributeto thepathogenesis of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD).DL-3-n-butylphthalide (NBP)has an effect in protecting mitochondria and improving microcirculation. We investigated the effect of NBP in patients with mild-moderate AD already receiving donepezil.Methods: It was a prospective cohort study. 92 mild-moderate AD patients were classified into the donepezil alone group (n=43) or the donepezil combined NBP group (n=49) for 48 weeks. The primary outcome was change of Alzheimer’s disease assessment scale-cognitive subscale (ADAS-cog) from baseline after treatment 48 weeks. All patients were also evaluated with clinician’s interview-based impression of change plus caregiver input (CIBIC-plus), Alzheimer's disease cooperative study-activities of daily living (ADCS-ADL) and neuropsychiatric inventory (NPI) every 12 weeks. All patients were monitored for adverse events (AEs). The efficacy was analyzed using logistic regression analysis.Results:The univariate analysis showed that age wasolder in donepezil alone group(P=0.005), prevalence of hypertension was higher in donepezil alone group(P=0.026).The ADAS-cog score change from baseline in thedonepezil alone group was significant than that in the donepezil combined NBP group at 48 weeks(1.82±5.20 vs -0.38±4.46, P=0.048). The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that between the 2 groups, there were significant differencesin changes on the ADAS-cog(OR=0.879,95% CI:[0.785,0.984],P=0.026),MMSE(OR=1.270,95% CI:[1.036,1.557],P=0.021), and ADCS-ADL(OR=1.067,95% CI:[1.002,1.136],P=0.042) but no significant differences for changes on the NPI(OR=0.955,95% CI:[0.901，1.013],P=0.125)and CIBIC-plus (OR=0.356,95% CI:[0.093,1.364],P=0.132). The occurrence of AEs was similar in the 2 groups.Conclusions:Over the 48-week treatment period, donepezil combined NBP group had slower cognitive decline and better activities of daily living in patients with mild to moderate AD. These indicated that the multi-target therapeutic effect of NBP may be a new choice for AD treatment.Trial registration:Clinical trial registration URL:https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02711683?term=NCT02711683&draw=2&rank=1ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02711683.

Abstract Background The impact of length of hospital stay on activities of daily living (ADLs) has not specifically been investigated among dialysis patients. Therefore, we attempt to verify the association between the length of hospital stay and the decline in ADLs among hemodialysis patients. Methods This prospective cohort study used data from the Japanese Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (J-DOPPS). We included 2,442 hemodialysis patients aged ³ 40 years from the J-DOPPS phase V (2012–2015) and subsequently excluded those who had already lost basic activities of daily living (BADLs) as demonstrated by dependency in at least three of the five BADLs at baseline and for whom changes in ADLs had been evaluated for less than 90 days. The main exposure was the cumulative length of hospital stay during the follow-up period. The primary outcomes were a decline in at least one of the five BADLs and eight instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs). We compared risk ratios (RRs) for 30-day increments for hospital stays with 10-year increments for age and having diabetes. Results A total of 849 patients were included in the statistical analysis. The cumulative length of hospital stay was significantly associated with a risk of decline in ADLs (adjusted RRs [95% confidence intervals] per 30-day increments: 1.42 [1.15 to 1.75] for BADLs, 1.38 [1.13 to 1.68] for IADLs). The adjusted RRs [95% CI] for 10-year increments in age were 1.20 [0.96 to 1.50] and 1.21 [1.00 to 1.47]. The adjusted RRs [95% CI] for having diabetes were 1.36 [0.97 to 1.91] for BADLs and 1.38 [1.04 to 1.84] for IADLs. Conclusion The impact of a 30-day increment in the cumulative length of hospital stay on the decline in ADLs was comparable to that of a 10-year increase in age and having diabetes.

Methods This prospective cohort study used data from the Japanese Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (J-DOPPS). We included 2,442 hemodialysis patients aged more than or equal to 40 years from the J-DOPPS phase V (2012–2015) and then excluded those who were not independent in more than three of the five basic activities of daily living (BADLs) and for whom changes in ADLs were evaluated for less than 90 days. The main exposure was the cumulative length of hospital stay during the follow-up period. The main outcomes were a decline in at least one of the five BADLs and eight instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs). We compared risk ratios (RRs) for 30-day increments in hospital stay with 10-year increments in age and having diabetes. Results A total of 960 patients were included in the statistical analysis. The cumulative length of hospital stay was significantly associated with a risk of decline in ADLs (adjusted RRs [95% confidence intervals] per 30-day increments: 1.42 [1.17 to 1.73] for BADLs, 1.30 [1.10 to 1.54] for IADLs). The adjusted RRs [95% CI] for 10-year increments in age were 1.20 [0.96 to 1.50] and 1.27 [1.05 to 1.54]. The adjusted RRs [95% CI] for having diabetes were 1.46 [1.06 to 2.02] for BADLs and 1.38 [1.05 to 1.81] for IADLs. Conclusion The impact of a 30-day increment in the cumulative length of hospital stay on the decline in ADLs was comparable to that of a 10-year increase in age and having diabetes.
