The Association between Physical Frailty and Cognitive Performance in Older Adults Aged 60 to 96 Years: Data from the "Good Aging in Skåne" (GÅS) Swedish Population Study.

Background: The association between physical frailty and performance in different cognitive domains in the absence of cognitive disorders is poorly understood. Hence, we aimed to explore the associations between frailty levels based on the Fried Physical Frailty Phenotype and performance of different cognitive domains. We also aimed to examine the associations between cognitive function and each criterion in the Fried Frailty Scale using the same cognitive domains in a non-dementia population aged 60-96 years.

Time to positivity of blood cultures in bloodstream infections with and association with outcome.

Purpose: Invasive infections with predominantly occur in persons of older age with substantial morbidity and mortality. Time to positivity from blood cultures (TTP) has been shown to be a prognostic indicator in bloodstream infections caused by other beta-haemolytic streptococci. This study aimed to determine any possible association between TTP and outcome in invasive infections due to .

Time to Blood Culture Positivity: An Independent Predictor of Mortality in Bacteremia.

Background: bacteremia is a severe condition with high mortality. Time to blood culture positivity (TTP) is known to predict the outcome in bacteremia with other pathogens. This study aimed to determine the association between TTP and outcome in bacteremia.
