- - The study examines how different types of visual impairment (VI) in older adults relate to the likelihood of being hospitalized more than once, using data from a survey of Medicare recipients.
- - Results show that older adults with any type of VI have a higher probability of hospitalization, especially those with near VI, who are about twice as likely to be repeatedly hospitalized compared to those without visual issues.
- - The findings suggest that improving near vision may potentially reduce the chance of recurrent hospitalizations in seniors, indicating a need for further research on this topic.
Importance: Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide and, in the US, disproportionately affects people from racial and ethnic minority groups. Glaucoma prevalence has not been estimated for the US in more than a decade, and state- and county-level estimates are not available.
Objective: To estimate glaucoma and vision-affecting glaucoma prevalence by demographic factors and US state and county for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Vision and Eye Health Surveillance System (VEHSS).
Importance: Lack of a US dementia surveillance system hinders efforts to support and address disparities among persons living with Alzheimer disease and related dementias (ADRD).
Objective: To review diagnosis and prescription drug code ADRD identification algorithms to develop and implement case definitions for national surveillance.
Design, Setting, And Participants: In this cross-sectional study, a systematic literature review was conducted to identify unique International Statistical Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) and prescription drug codes used by researchers to identify ADRD in administrative records.
