Article Synopsis
- Calcific aortic stenosis serves as a model for understanding cardiovascular issues in older adults, influenced by multiple factors related to aging.
- Research on transcatheter aortic valve replacement has primarily involved older patients, leading to the recognition of frailty and other geriatric risks as important for better assessing patient conditions.
- The review emphasizes the need for a comprehensive approach to diagnosis and management of aortic stenosis in older adults, advocating for improved patient engagement and identifying key areas for future research.
Objective: To assess mortality, life expectancy, risk factors, and causes of death by age groups among persons who received inpatient traumatic brain injury (TBI) rehabilitation.
Design: Prospective cohort study.
Setting: The TBI Model Systems.
Objective: To compare the reliability of quadriceps-angle (Q-angle) measurements performed using a short-arm goniometer and a long-arm goniometer and to assess the accuracy of goniometer-based Q-angle measurements compared with anatomic Q angles derived from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Design: An intra- and interobserver reliability study.
Setting: University hospital.
