Article Synopsis
- - In nonagenarians with complete heart block, dual-chamber (DDD) pacing showed better physiological outcomes compared to single-chamber (VVI) pacing, although the effect on overall mortality is debated.
- - Among 168 patients studied, those with VVI pacing were older, frailer, and had higher rates of dementia compared to DDD recipients, but both groups had similar age and heart function at baseline.
- - After adjusting for factors like age and frailty, VVI pacing was linked to significantly higher risks of all-cause mortality and death from congestive cardiac failure, suggesting better long-term outcomes for DDD pacing in this population.
Introduction: Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) has one of the highest mortality rates of all human malignancies, accounting for two-thirds of all thyroid cancer deaths. Despite multimodal treatment, ATC still has a reported median survival period of 6 mo. Recent single-center studies have reported improved survival with the approval of new treatments for ATC.

Primary care networks (PCNs) are contracted to provide this, but approaches vary widely: challenges include frailty identification, multidisciplinary team (MDT) capability/capacity and how the process is structured and delivered.
Aim: To determine whether a proactive healthcare model could improve healthcare outcomes for care home residents.
