Person Profile Dementia Intervention in Long-Term Care: A Stepped-Wedge Cluster-Randomized Trial.

Objectives: We aimed to assess the efficacy of a person-centered care intervention in improving quality of life (QoL) for people with dementia in long-term care facilities.

The present study aimed to explore the prevalence of loneliness and its change during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Treatment regimens in patients over 64 years with acute myeloid leukaemia: a retrospective single-institution, multi-site analysis.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of treatment choice on survival, transfusion needs and hospitalizations in patients > 64 years old with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukaemia (AML).

Material And Methods: This study retrospectively analysed patients over 64 years with AML diagnosed at a regional healthcare network in Switzerland between 2017 and 2020. Patients underwent four therapy groups: intensive chemotherapy (IC), hypomethylating agent in combination with the BCL2-Inhibitor venetoclax (HMA + VEN), hypomethylating agents alone (HMA) or best supportive care (BSC).
