Medico-economic comparison of two anticoagulant treatment strategies: Vitamin K antagonists vs. direct oral anticoagulants in older adults in nursing homes in France. The "MIKADO" study.

Objectives: Currently, two classes of oral anticoagulants are available in nursing home residents: vitamin K antagonists (VKA) and direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC). DOACs have a higher net clinical benefit than VKAs but DOACs are about 10 times more expensive than VKAs. The objective of our study was to assess and compare the overall costs of anti-coagulant strategy (VKA or DOAC), i.

Oral candidiasis and nutritional deficiencies in elderly hospitalised patients.

[Prognosis factors of short and long-term survival in elderly hospitalized patients after percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy].

Objective: Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is the procedure of choice to achieve long-term enteral nutrition. The risks and benefits of PEG in elderly hospitalized patients have been poorly documented. The objective of this study was to describe the outcome of elderly patients one-year after insertion of a PEG tube.
