Postoperative delirium (POD) is a prevalent clinical entity characterized by reversible fluctuating altered mental status and cognitive impairment with acute and rapid onset a few days after major surgery. Postoperative cognitive decline (POCD) is a more permanent extension of POD characterized by prolonged global cognitive impairment for several months to years after surgery and anesthesia. Both syndromes have been shown to increase morbidity and mortality in postoperative patients making their multiple risk factors targets for optimization. In particular, nutrition imparts a significant and potentially reversible risk factor. Malnutrition and frailty have been linked as risk factors and predictive indicators for POD and less so for POCD. This review aims to outline the association between nutrition and perioperative cognitive outcomes as well as potential interventions such as prehabilitation.

Branched-Chain Amino Acid Supplements for Sarcopenia in Liver Cirrhosis: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
J Clin Exp Hepatol
September 2024
Department of Gastroenterology and hepatology, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX, USA.
Background: Sarcopenia, a key aspect of malnutrition in liver cirrhosis (LC), affects 30-70% of LC patients. Given the inconsistent results from RCTs on branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) for treating sarcopenia in LC, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the efficacy and safety of BCAAs for sarcopenia management in LC patients.
Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis synthesizing evidence from RCTs obtained from PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, Scopus, and Web of Science from inception to April 2024.
A machine learning-based model for predicting the risk of cognitive frailty in elderly patients on maintenance hemodialysis.

Elderly patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) face a heightened risk of cognitive frailty (CF), which significantly compromises quality of life. Early identification of at-risk individuals and timely intervention are essential. Nevertheless, current CF risk prediction models fall short in accuracy to adequately fulfill clinical requirements.

Objectives: To investigate the association of comprehensive geriatric assessment (related to diverse aspects of frailty) with postoperative recovery as measured by days alive and out of the hospital at 30 days (DAOH30) in older patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
Design: Retrospective observational study using data retrieved from a prospective registry.
Setting: Single tertiary hospital in South Korea.
Pharmacologic Management of Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) in Older Adults.
Drugs Aging
January 2025
Program for the Care and Study of the Aging Heart, Department of Medicine, Weill Cornell Medicine, 420 East 70th St, New York, NY, LH-36510063, USA.
There are several pharmacologic agents that have been touted as guideline-directed medical therapy for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However, it is important to recognize that older adults with HFpEF also contend with an increased risk for adverse effects from medications due to age-related changes in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of medications, as well as the concurrence of geriatric conditions such as polypharmacy and frailty. With this review, we discuss the underlying evidence for the benefits of various treatments in HFpEF and incorporate key considerations for older adults, a subpopulation that may be at higher risk for adverse drug events.

Background: Dysgeusia is a distortion of the sense of taste whose prevalence and relationship with nutritional status in Metabolic dysfunction-associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD)-related advanced chronic liver disease (ACLD) have never been systematically explored.
Methods: 200 MASLD patients [60 ≤ F3 fibrosis, 70 compensated ACLD (cACLD), and 70 decompensated (dACLD)] were enrolled. At baseline, the Child-Pugh (CP) score was determined.
