Aim: This study aims to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Standard Assessment of Global Everyday Activities (SAGEA) scale in older adults.
Methods: The study employed a cross-sectional, methodological design. The SAGEA scale was administered twice, with a two-week interval for test-retest reliability. The study examined correlations between the SAGEA and other functional measures including the Activities of Daily Living (BADL), Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL), the Timed Up and Go Test (TUGT), and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE).
Results: The participants were 307 community-dwelling older adults who underwent a comprehensive geriatric assessment at a university hospital. The average age of the participants was 74.93 years. SAGEA scores showed strong correlations with BADL (-.620), IADL (-.802), TUGT (.613), and MMSE (-.784). The Cronbach alpha for internal consistency was .79, and the test-retest reliability was high (r=.99, p<.001).
Conclusion: The Turkish version of SAGEA (TSAGEA) is a quick, reliable, and validated scale that can be easily used in clinical practice without additional training. It effectively assesses both physical and cognitive functionality in older adults, aiding in early intervention and disability prevention.

Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta for trauma patients with uncontrolled hemorrhage: a retrospective target trial emulation (the AT-REBOA target trial).
Eur J Emerg Med

Department of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine.
Background: Noncompressible truncal hemorrhage is a major contributor to preventable deaths in trauma patients and, despite advances in emergency care, still poses a big challenge.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the clinical efficacy of trauma resuscitation care incorporating Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) compared to standard care for managing uncontrolled torso or lower body hemorrhage.
Methods: This study utilized a target trial design with a matched case-control methodology, emulating randomized 1 : 1 allocation for patients receiving trauma resuscitation care with or without the use of REBOA.
This longitudinal study aimed to examine the long-term effects of Reminiscing and Emotion Training (RET), child maltreatment, and the COVID-19 pandemic on maternal elaboration and sensitive guidance during reminiscing. RET was developed to improve maternal elaborative and emotionally sensitive reminiscing among maltreating mothers of preschool-aged children. Of the original 248 mothers and their preschool-aged children who participated in the trial of RET, which included 165 families with maltreatment who were randomized to receive RET ( = 83) or a case management community standard condition (CS, = 82), and a group of demographically similar families with no history of child maltreatment, nonmaltreatment comparison (NC, = 83), 166 families participated in an assessment 5 years postintervention (Time 5; T5) at which children were aged 8-12 years.
