Delirium prevalence in geriatric emergency department patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: In the emergency department, delirium associated with serious adverse outcomes is common in geriatric patients. We performed a meta-analysis and estimated the prevalence of delirium and its related factors among geriatric emergency department patients.

Methods: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and CBM databases were searched before November 7, 2021.

Prevalence of Depression and Anxiety in Patients With Chronic Rhinosinusitis: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Objective: We performed a meta-analysis and estimated the prevalence of depression and anxiety and their related factors among patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS).

Data Sources: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and CBM databases.

Review Methods: A systematic search was performed for relevant studies published before August 17, 2021.

Frailty is associated with 90-day unplanned readmissions and death in patients with heart failure: A longitudinal study in China.

Background: Frailty has been reported to be significantly associated with adverse health outcomes in people with heart failure (HF).

Objectives: To explore the potential effects of frailty on unplanned readmissions and death in people with HF patients aged 18 years or older.

Methods: 342 HF patients aged 18 years or older from the heart centers of two different tertiary care hospitals located in northwest of China were enrolled between July and December 2020.

Impact of preoperative sarcopenia on postoperative complications and survival outcomes of patients with esophageal cancer: a meta-analysis of cohort studies.

The effects of preoperative sarcopenia on postoperative complications and survival outcomes of patients undergoing esophageal cancer resection are controversial. From database establishment to 16 May 2021, we systematically searched PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database to collect relevant studies investigating the effects of preoperative sarcopenia on postoperative complications, survival outcomes, and the risk of a poor prognosis of patients undergoing esophagectomy. The Newcastle-Ottawa scale was used to evaluate the quality of the included literature, and RevMan 5.

Impact of preoperative sarcopenia on postoperative complications and prognosis of gastric cancer resection: A meta-analysis of cohort studies.

Background The effect of preoperative sarcopenia on postoperative complications and prognosis in patients undergoing gastrectomy for gastric cancer has been controversial. The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of preoperative sarcopenia on postoperative complications and prognosis of patients with gastric cancer through meta-analysis method, providing new ideas for the prognosis study of patients undergoing gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Methods From databases establishment to April 2021, we systematically searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), VIP, WanFang Data, and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM) to collect cohort studies on the effect of sarcopenia on postoperative complications or prognosis of gastric cancer.

Impacts of frailty on health care costs among community-dwelling older adults: A meta-analysis of cohort studies.

Background: The demands for health care services from the frail elderly individuals in the community continue to increase, which will exert a tremendous burden on health care costs. However, little is known regarding the magnitude of these impacts. In this study, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of the evidence to explore the impact of frailty on health care costs among community-dwelling older adults.

Menopause and frailty: a scoping review.

Importance And Objective: Frailty refers to the decline in physiological reserve capacity caused by the deterioration of multiple physiological systems (brain, endocrine system, immune system, and skeletal muscle), leading to increased vulnerability and decreased stress capacity. Women have a higher prevalence of frailty than men, although the epidemiological factors underlying this phenomenon are not fully understood. Menopause and menopause-related characteristics may be among the contributing factors.
