Scand J Caring Sci
September 2024
Department of Heart Disease, Haukeland University Hospital, Bergen, Norway.
Aims And Objectives: To (i) determine the prevalence of delirium and identify delirium subtypes in surgical and non-surgical patients aged ≥65 years, (ii) determine whether certain precipitating factors affect the prevalence of delirium and (iii) review patients' medical records for description of delirium symptoms and the presence of International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) coding for delirium in discharge summaries.
Methodological Design And Justifications: Despite being a robust predictor of morbidity and mortality in older adults, delirium might be inadequately recognised and under-reported in patients' medical records and discharge summaries. A point prevalence study (24-h) of patients ≥65 years from surgical and non-surgical wards was therefore conducted in a tertiary university hospital.

Int J Environ Res Public Health
March 2022
Department of Coordinated Care, Medical University of Lodz, 90-419 Lodz, Poland.
Background: Readmissions are adverse, costly, and potentially preventable. The study aimed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of reducing readmissions resulting from missed care, depending on the level of education of nurses, from the perspective of the service provider. Methods: We calculated missed care resulting in additional readmissions based on the longitudinal study conducted between 2012 and 2014, as well as readmissions that could have been potentially prevented by adding a 10% increase in hours of nursing care provided by BSN/MSc nurses for 2014.
