Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly affected clinical and support services for older people in Brunei. There was an observed increase in dependent older adults admitted with Stage 4 pressure injuries with underlying osteomyelitis during the first six-months of the pandemic. The nine patients are described, with a high rate of frailty, malnutrition, and clinician concerns regarding care provided at home. All patients were assessed as having moderate pain, needed a prolonged duration of broad spectrum antibiotics in hospital and a high rate of inpatient mortality. Prevention of pressure injuries in the community should be emphasised to reduce the risk of these complications in fully dependent older people, regardless of the pandemic situation. © 2021, Asian Association for Frailty and Sarcopenia and Taiwan Association for Integrated Care.

COVID-19大流行期间完全依赖老年人的第4阶段骶骨压力损伤

2019冠状病毒病大流行严重影响了文莱老年人的临床和支持服务。在大流行的前6个月，观察到患有4期压力损伤并伴有潜在骨髓炎的受抚养老年人的数量有所增加。报告描述了这9名患者，他们身体虚弱、营养不良的比例很高，而且临床医生对在家提供护理感到担忧。所有患者均被评估为中度疼痛，需要延长住院期间的广谱抗生素治疗，住院死亡率高。应强调在社区预防压力伤害，以减少完全依赖的老年人发生这些并发症的风险，无论大流行情况如何。©2021，亚洲衰弱与肌肉减少症协会和台湾综合护理协会。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
