Article Synopsis
- A study looked at how having dementia affects older people in hospitals in Australia and if it leads to more complications.
- They gathered data on patients aged 60 and older with and without dementia from several hospitals over ten years.
- Results showed that older people with dementia had a longer hospital stay and faced higher risks for issues like falls, pressure injuries, and delirium compared to those without dementia.
Objectives: To determine whether delirium prevention interventions reduce the risk of falls among older hospitalised patients.
Methods: A systematic search of health-care databases was undertaken. Given the frequency of small sample sized trials, a trial sequential meta-analysis was conducted to present estimate summary effects to date.
