The impact of depression on functional recovery in older adults following hip fracture is unclear. We aimed to examine the association between depression and 4-month functional recovery of older inpatients with hip fracture. We conducted a longitudinal cohort study on older hip fracture patients admitted to an Orthogeriatric Unit between January 2021 and February 2022 within the multicenter "Gruppo Italiano di Ortogeriatria" network.

- * There was a dramatic rise in CD diagnoses post-2000, with non-classical forms being most common, and gastrointestinal symptoms like diarrhea and bloating seen in about half of the patients.
- * The study also found high rates of associated conditions, such as osteopenia in nearly 60% of patients, and suggested an evolution in disease presentation towards more subclinical and non-classical cases over time.
Background: The COVID-19 lockdown had a profound effect on everyday life, including sleep health. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated changes in quantitative sleep parameters during the first lockdown compared with pre-lockdown in the general population.
Methods: A search in scientific databases was performed to identify eligible observational studies from inception to 8 February 2023.
Purpose: The prevalence of Clostridioides difficile infection in older and frail population is extremely high and adverse outcomes, including future recurrences and premature mortality, are common. Nonetheless, the clinical risk profile for Clostridioides difficile recurrence in older people is still controversial. We aimed to investigate: 1) the association between Clostridioides difficile recurrence and 6-month mortality; 2) the risk factors for Clostridioides difficile recurrence after hospital discharge.

This systematic review summarises the current evidence on multimorbidity patterns identified in primary care electronic health record (EHR) data.
Methods: Three databases were searched from inception to April 2022 to identify studies that derived original multimorbidity patterns from primary care EHR data.
