External Validation of the Walter Index for Posthospitalization Mortality Prediction in Older Adults.
JAMA Netw Open
January 2025
Division of Geriatrics, School of Medicine, University of California San Francisco.
Importance: The Walter Index is a widely used prognostic tool for assessing 12-month mortality risk among hospitalized older adults. Developed in the US in 2001, its accuracy in contemporary non-US contexts is unclear.
Objective: To evaluate the external validity of the Walter Index in predicting posthospitalization mortality risk in Brazilian older adult inpatients.
Time to nursing home admission and death in people with dementia: systematic review and meta-analysis.
BMJ
January 2025
Department of Epidemiology, Erasmus MC University Medical Centre, Rotterdam, Netherlands
Objective: To summarise available evidence on time to nursing home admission and death among people with dementia, and to explore prognostic indicators.
Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis.
Data Sources: Medline, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane, and Google Scholar from inception to 4 July 2024.
Background: People with Alzheimer's disease (AD) exhibit varying clinical trajectories. There is a need to predict future AD-related outcomes such as morbidity and mortality using clinical profile at the point of care.
Objective: To stratify AD patients based on baseline clinical profiles (up to two years prior to AD diagnosis) and update the model after AD diagnosis to prognosticate future AD-related outcomes.

Psoriasis and dementia: A population-based matched cohort study of adults in England.
Ann Clin Transl Neurol
January 2025
Department of Non-Communicable Disease Epidemiology, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Keppel Street, London, WC1E 7HT, UK.
Article Synopsis
- The study examined the link between psoriasis and dementia using a large dataset from England, focusing on adults aged 40 and older.
- Results indicated that individuals with psoriasis had a slight increase in overall dementia risk, particularly with vascular dementia, and the risk grew over time post-diagnosis.
- Severe psoriasis greatly amplified the risk of dementia compared to mild to moderate cases, suggesting a potential dose-response relationship.
