Background: In the geriatric population, the risk of cardiometabolic diseases is strongly influenced by comorbidities. The aim of the study was to estimate the prevalence of depression among hospitalized patients with heart failure (HF) and to assess the relation between physical performance and depression in this population.
Methods: We included consecutive hospitalized patients with HF aged >65 years.

- Myocardial infarction (MI) is a significant healthcare issue in Poland, and the study analyzed the costs associated with managing these patients using data from hospitalization claims between October 2017 and December 2019.
- The average total direct cost for treating MI patients was around €3805, with 29% of expenses incurred post-hospitalization, and costs slightly increased each year from 2017 to 2019.
- Factors such as male sex, existing health conditions (like heart failure and diabetes), and the type of hospital department also influenced the management costs for MI patients.
Purpose: The ABCDEF bundle may improve delirium outcomes among intensive care unit (ICU) patients, however population-based studies are lacking. In this study we evaluated effects of a quality improvement initiative based on the ABCDEF bundle in adult ICUs in Alberta, Canada.
Material And Methods: We conducted a pre-post, registry-based clinical trial, analysed using interrupted time series methodology.

- The study focuses on translating and validating the BREAST-Q questionnaire into Malay for breast cancer patients undergoing surgery.
- A total of 144 newly diagnosed patients participated, and various statistical methods were used to ensure the reliability and validity of the Malay version.
- The findings indicate strong internal consistency, reproducibility, and validity of the translated BREAST-Q, making it a valuable tool for assessing patient-reported outcomes in this population.
