Background: Predicting mortality and morbidity poses a significant challenge to physicians, leading to the development of various scoring systems. Among these, the hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte and platelet (HALP) score evaluates a patient's nutritional and immune status. The primary aim of this study was to determine the predictive effect of the HALP score on 30-day and 1-year mortality in elderly patients with proximal femoral fractures (PFFs).

Importance: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common, chronic, cardiac arrythmia in older US adults. It is not known whether AF is independently associated with increased risk of retinal stroke (central retinal artery occlusion), a subtype of ischemic stroke that causes severely disabling visual loss in most cases and is a harbinger of further vascular events.

Objective: To determine whether there is an association between AF and retinal stroke.

Background: Poor sleep health is associated with cognitive impairment (CI) in older adults. The cardiopulmonary coupling (CPC) sleep spectrogram, which estimates the sleep state modulated synchronization between heart rate variability and respiration, is an increasingly recognized measure of sleep stability. However, little is known about the longitudinal association between CPC measures of sleep stability and risk of incident CI.

Background: Sarcopenia is a prevalent condition defined by a loss of muscle mass associated with reduction in muscle power and physical performance. It is associated with several adverse outcomes such as risk of falls and fractures, hospitalization and higher mortality. It can be triggered by several clinical conditions and dementia is one of them.

Background: General practitioners (GPs) play a crucial role in recognizing cognitive deficits and diagnosing dementia. Currently, dementia diagnosis in primary care is prone to be missed or delayed. Electronic health records from GPs can offer insights into the trajectory leading up to a dementia diagnosis.
