Article Synopsis
- Lewy body dementia (LBD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer's disease (AD) and this study focuses on comparing decline in functionality between LBD and AD patients over 18 months.
- The research involved 37 AD and 36 LBD patients aged over 70, all with a minimum MMSE score of 20, and found that LBD patients experienced a significant decline in Activities of Daily Living (ADL) compared to AD patients.
- Specifically, LBD patients showed a more rapid decrease in autonomy regarding personal care tasks such as bathing and dressing, highlighting a faster decline in their functional ability than that seen in AD patients.

Methods: We conducted a multicentric retrospective cohort study in 15 acute COVID-19 geriatric wards in the Paris area from March to April 2020 and November 2020 to May 2021.

Background: Postoperative urinary retention (POUR) is a common hip fracture (HF) complication. Although fecal impaction (FI) is one of the oft-cited causes of POUR in clinical practice, evidence regarding this association is scarce.
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine whether FI was associated with POUR after HF surgery in older patients.
