COGERIA, a cantonal program is the fruit of a close collaboration between the Geneva General Directorate of Health and the major health and social partners in the canton. The program aims to improve inter-professional care for the frail elderly and to adapt their care pathways in close collaboration with their primary care physicians and home healthcare providers. Launched in May 2019, the program includes more than 283 beneficiaries and 152 primary care physicians in collaboration with the home healthcare providers in the Servette and Meyrin areas. Preliminary results show a possible trend towards a decrease in hospitalizations, as well as major satisfaction from beneficiaries and the COGERIA partners.

Objectives: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) may affect antiretroviral therapy (ART) response and clinical outcomes for veterans with HIV (VWH) receiving care in the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Objectives are to estimate the associations between PTSD and ART nonadherence, modifications, and failure; measure effect modification by number of deployments and combat exposure; and examine how these associations vary over time.
Design: In this prospective cohort study of all VWH on ART who deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan and receive care in the VA (n = 3206), patients entered at ART initiation and were censored in December 2022, totaling 22 261 person-years of follow-up.

Background: Preinjury antithrombotic (AT) use is associated with worse outcomes for geriatric (65 years or older) patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Previous studies have found that use of AT outside established guidelines is widespread in TBI patients.
Methods: In this single-center retrospective cross-sectional study, we examined inappropriate AT use among geriatric patients presenting with traumatic intracranial hemorrhage.

Background/aims: In the absence of disease-modifying therapies for Parkinson's disease, much research focuses on improving quality of life, health and wellbeing. It is important to evaluate potential treatments and innovative care models in a robust and standardised way. Disease-specific outcomes have limitations in older people, those with cognitive impairment, multimorbidity, disability or short life expectancy.
