Late-onset Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multisystem autoimmune rheumatic disease (ARD) that results from the dysregulation of multiple innate and adaptive immune pathways. Late-onset SLE (Lo-SLE) is the term used when the disease is first diagnosed after 50-65 years, though the standard age cut-off remains undefined. Defining "late-onset" as lupus with onset after 50 years is more biologically plausible as this roughly corresponds to the age of menopause.

Department of Nursing, the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of School of Medicine, and International School of Medicine, International Institutes of Medicine, Zhejiang University, Yiwu, 322000, China.
Background: Existing fall risk assessment tools in clinical settings often lack accuracy. Although an increasing number of fall risk prediction models have been developed for hospitalized older patients in recent years, it remains unclear how useful these models are for clinical practice and future research.
Objectives: To systematically review published studies of fall risk prediction models for hospitalized older adults.

Author Affiliations: Trauma Prevention Program, UC Davis Medical Center, University of California Davis, Sacramento, California (Dr Adams); Department of Pediatrics, School of Medicine, University of California Davis, Sacramento, California (Dr Tancredi); Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing, University of California Davis, Sacramento, California (Drs Bell and Catz); and Division of General Internal Medicine, School of Medicine and Center for Healthcare Policy and Research, University of California Davis, Sacramento, California (Dr Romano).
Background: Acute care hospitalization has been associated with older adult home falls after discharge, but less is known about the effects of hospital- and patient-related factors on home fall risk.
Objectives: This study compares the effects of hospital length of stay, medical condition, history of falls, and home health care on period rates of home falls after discharge from acute care hospitalization.
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study comparing period rates of home injury falls among older adults (age ≥ 65) occurring after discharge from an acute care hospitalization.

Purpose: This study aims to identify predictors of discharge to post-acute care in geriatric emergency general surgery (EGS) patients.
Methods: This is a retrospective study of geriatric emergency general surgery (EGS) patients at a tertiary care facility between 2017 and 2018. Inclusion criteria were ≥ 65 years old and presented directly from home.
Early Versus Delayed Antihypertensive Treatment After Acute Ischemic Stroke by Hypertension History.

Department of Neurology, Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University, China. (X.X., X.L., Y.P., Yufei Wei, Y.J., M.W., J.J., X.M., Yilong Wang, Yongjun Wang, L.L.).
Background: We performed a prespecified subgroup analysis of the CATIS-2 trial (China Antihypertensive Trial in Acute Ischemic Stroke II) to compare the effect of early versus delayed antihypertensive treatment on death and disability in patients with and without medical history of hypertension.
Methods: CATIS-2 is a multicenter randomized clinical trial conducted in 106 hospitals in China. The trial randomized 4810 patients with acute ischemic stroke within 24 to 48 hours of symptom onset and elevated systolic blood pressure between 140 and <220 mm Hg to receive antihypertensive treatment immediately after randomization or to discontinue antihypertensive medications for 7 days and then receive treatment on day 8.
