Background: Premorbid conditions influence the outcome of acutely ill adult patients aged 80 years and over who are admitted to the ICU. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of such premorbid conditions on 6 month survival.
Methods: Prospective cohort study in 242 ICUs from 22 countries including patients 80 years or above, admitted over a 6 months period to an ICU between May 2018 and May 2019. Only emergency (acute) ICU admissions in adult patients ≥ 80 years of age were eligible. Patients who were admitted after planned/elective surgery were excluded. We measured the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS), the Informant Questionnaire on Cognitive Decline in the Elderly (IQCODE), disability with the Katz activities of daily living (ADL) score, comorbidities and a Polypharmacy Score (CPS).
Results: Overall, the VIP2 study included 3920 patients. During ICU stay 1191 patients died (30.9%), and another 436 patients (11.1%) died after ICU discharge but within the first 30 days of admission, and an additional 895 patients died hereafter but within the first 6 months after admission (22.8%). The 6 months mortality was 64%. The median CFS was 4 (IQR 3-6). Frailty (CFS ≥ 5) was present in 26.6%. Cognitive decline (IQCODE above 3.5) was found in 30.2%. The median IQCODE was 3.19. A Katz ADL of 4 or less was present in 27.7%. Patients who surviving > 6 months were slightly younger (median age survivors 84 with IQR 81-86) than patients dying within the first 6 months (median age 84, IQR 82-87, p = 0.013), were less frequently frail (CFS > 5 in 19% versus 34%, p < 0.01) and were less dependent based on their Katz activities of daily living measurement (median Katz score 6, IQR 5-6 versus 6 points, IQR 3-6, p < 0.01).
Conclusions: We found that Clinical Frailty Scale, age, and SOFA at admission were independent prognostic factors for 6 month mortality after ICU admission in patients age 80 and above. Adding other geriatric syndromes and scores did not improve the model. This information can be used in shared-decision making.

Acute kidney frailty (AKF) is a condition of increased susceptibility to acute kidney injury (AKI), an abrupt impairment of renal excretory function potentially leading to severe complications. Prevention of AKI relies on the recognition of risk factors contributing to AKF. At the population level, dehydration constitutes a predisposing factor for AKI.

Subjective Cognitive Impairment (SCI) is a self-perceived worsening of cognitive decline, carrying an increased risk of developing Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Due to the self-report nature of SCI, an understanding of the biological mechanisms that contribute to an increased dementia risk is needed. This study aims to assess the differences in resting state electroencephalography (EEG) (eyes-open, eyes-closed; EO, EC) between older adults with SCI and healthy controls (HCs) utilising frequency principal components analysis (fPCA), a novel data driven approach.

Background: Several factors such as acute symptom severity, premorbid anxiety, and depression have been associated with concussion recovery. Elevated kinesiophobia has been associated with recovery from musculoskeletal conditions, as well as increased reaction time and vestibular-ocular motor dysfunction following concussion. However, kinesiophobia has yet to be evaluated as a modifier of concussion recovery time.

Introduction: Acute onset of severe psychiatric symptoms or regression may occur in children with premorbid neurodevelopmental disorders, although typically developing children can also be affected. Infections or other stressors are likely triggers. The underlying causes are unclear, but a current hypothesis suggests the convergence of genes that influence neuronal and immunological function.

Article Synopsis
- - Ocular strabismus is a widespread issue that can lead to serious visual problems like amblyopia, yet diagnosing it accurately remains difficult despite advancements in eye-tracking technology.
- - The study introduces a novel model, FedCNN, which integrates Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) to improve the precision of strabismus detection using dynamic eye movement data.
- - With an impressive diagnostic accuracy of 95.2%, this innovative approach has the potential to significantly improve eye disease diagnosis for many patients.
