Arterial hypertension treatment in octogenarians with dementia according to ESC/ESH-2018: Three-year follow-up.

Objective: To determine the control of systolic blood pressure (SBP) retrospectively according to the recommendations of the ESC/ESH-2018 guideline and its relationship with mortality in octogenarian patients with dementia.

Patients And Methods: Preliminary, longitudinal, observational, retrospective study, including 65 patients ≥80 years with diagnosis of dementia and arterial hypertension admitted to a psychogeriatric unit during 2015. The main variables were SBP control according to the recommendations of the ESC/ESH-2018 guideline, considering desirable SBP (130-139mmHg), undesirable SBP (suboptimal <130mmHg and elevated SBP ≥140mmHg) and mortality at 3 years in patients with antihypertensive treatment at discharge (n = 53).

Prognostic Value of the ESPEN Consensus and Guidelines for Malnutrition: Prediction of Post-Discharge Clinical Outcomes in Older Inpatients.

Introduction: Our study aimed to determine whether malnutrition and nutrition-related conditions using the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) consensus were associated with functional status, institutionalization, readmissions, and mortality in older patients at 3-month follow-up.

Methods: A cohort of 102 consecutive deconditioned patients was assessed at 3 months postdischarge from postacute geriatric care. Inclusion criteria were age ≥70 years, scores of Mini-Mental Status Examination ≥21/30, and being admitted for rehabilitation after an acute non-disabling disease.

Clinical application of the basic definition of malnutrition proposed by the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN): Comparison with classical tools in geriatric care.

Background: Malnutrition is a prevalent condition related to adverse outcomes in older people. Our aim was to compare the diagnostic capacity of the malnutrition criteria of the European Society of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ESPEN) with other classical diagnostic tools.

Methods: Cohort study of 102 consecutive in-patients ≥70 years admitted for postacute rehabilitation.

ASPEN-AND-ESPEN: A postacute-care comparison of the basic definition of malnutrition from the American Society of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition and Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics with the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism definition.

Background: The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of malnutrition by applying the ASPEN/AND definition and the ESPEN consensus definition in a postacute-care population, and secondly, to determine the metrological properties of the set of six clinical characteristics that constitute the ASPEN/AND basic diagnosis, compared to the ESPEN consensus, based mostly on objective anthropometric measurements.

Methods: Prospective study of 84 consecutive deconditioned older inpatients (85.4 ± 6.

Malnutrition in postacute geriatric care: Basic ESPEN diagnosis and etiology based diagnoses analyzed by length of stay, in-hospital mortality, and functional rehabilitation indexes.

Objective: To determine the relationships between malnutrition and nutrition-related conditions according to the European Society of Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) consensus and guidelines and clinical outcomes in postacute rehabilitation.

Methods: Of 102 eligible inpatients, 95 (84.5 years old, 63.

Prevalence of malnutrition and sarcopenia in a post-acute care geriatric unit: Applying the new ESPEN definition and EWGSOP criteria.

Backgrounds & Aims: The European Society of Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) consensus definition of malnutrition has been applied in hospitalized older diabetics and middle-aged patients, geriatric outpatients, and healthy elderly and young individuals. In a post-acute care setting, our aim was to assess malnutrition (ESPEN definition) and determine its relationship with sarcopenia in older in-patients deconditioned due to an acute process.

Methods: Eighty-eight in-patients aged ≥70 years with body mass index (BMI) <30 kg/m were included (84.
