Materials and Methods: A retrospective and observational study was conducted in a tertiary-level hospital. All patients over 80 years old who received at least one dose of dalbavancin from June 2016 to December 2021 were in included. Demographic and clinical data, microbiological, indication for dalbavancin prescription, adverse effects and evolution of the infection were collected in this study. Geriatric assessment of the patient on admission was also documented, including Barthel index and the presence of polypharmacy in their treatments. Results: A total of 25 patients were included (mean age =87), mostly were female (64%), coming from their usual residence (72%), independent for the activities of daily living “ADLs” (68%) and in a hyperpolypharmacy regimen (up to 44%). Fourteen patients presented endovascular infections like endocarditis/vascular device infections (53%), the other 13 patients (47%) debuted with locomotor system infections such as joint prosthetic infection or septic arthritis. Regarding the microbiological data, 56% of the patients were infected by streptococcus/enterococcus group, followed by methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococci (24%) and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (20%). No patient experienced adverse effects. Conclusion: Dalbavancin is presented as an attractive antibiotic in the geriatric population due to its potential uses in complex pathologies, showing safety and efficacy in short treatments or in prolonged regimens.","PeriodicalId":341534,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Geriatrics and Gerontology","volume":"198 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133943122","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study of patients over 18 years old who had a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube inserted between January 2016 and December 2020. Age, gender, percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy indications, minor and major post-procedure complications, and 30-day mortality rates were compared between geriatric and non-geriatric patients. Results: Females accounted for 276 (47.6%) of the 580 patients, while 304 (52.4%) were males. Among the study population, 65.7% of the patients were older patients (n=381), and the median age was 67.8 years. Alzheimer’s dementia accompanying dysphagia (n=232; 40%) and stroke (n=148; 25%) were the most prevalent diagnoses. No differences were found regarding the complication rate between geriatric patients and non-geriatric patients. The incidence of complications after percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy insertion was 35.8%, with 71.1% are minor. Granuloma (12.6%) was the most minor complication while buried bumper syndrome (4.8%) was the most common major complication. However, peristomal leakage-necrotizing fasciitis and aspiration pneumonia was the most lethal complications. The mortality rate was 0.5%, and there was no significant difference between geriatric patients and non-geriatric patients. Conclusion: We established that older age alone was not a risk factor for geriatric patients undergoing percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy because there was no statistically significant difference between the complication and mortality rates of younger and older individuals. Hence, PEG can be used safely on older patients when necessary.","PeriodicalId":341534,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Geriatrics and Gerontology","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126475252","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to investigate the loneliness and depression of older adults living in the community in Turkey during the Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Materials and Methods: It is a cross-sectional and descriptive-analytical research. The sample size of the study was calculated as 510 people. Older adults aged 60 and over, residing in the province for at least one year, no history of severe psychiatric or neurological disorders, no severe clinical or psychiatric disorders, and living at home were included in the study. Data were collected with a questionnaire, Ascertain Dementia 8 (AD8), Geriatric Depression Scale-Short Form, and the University of California, Los Angeles Loneliness Scale (ULS). Results: 58% of the older adults were between the ages of 60-69, 47% were women, 64% were married, and their mean GDS-SF score was 4.1 (standard deviation 3.4). It has been determined that factors related to socio-demographic characteristics as well as factors related to pre-pandemic health status and factors related to the negative effects of the disease on health have a decisive effect on depression in older adults during the pandemic process (p<0.05). Conclusion: Depression in older adults is under the influence of many other factors that made them vulnerable even before the COVID-19 pandemic, rather than the direct effects of the pandemic. Accordingly, the older adults who live alone are a high-risk group.","PeriodicalId":341534,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Geriatrics and Gerontology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114126278","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of our study was to evaluate the knowledge and awareness of the geriatric population in our nation regarding their preference for dental implants in prosthetic treatments. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out by questionnaires, assessing knowledge about implants and demographic information, administered to patients attending the periodontology and prosthodontic clinics who volunteered to participate. The collected data were imported to Statistical Package for Social Sciences and the chi-square and Fisher’s Exact tests were utilized to evaluate categorical variables represented as a percentage of study participants. Results: A total of 200 individuals were enrolled. A significant correlation was found between implant knowledge with age, education and income level. According to the survey’s findings, 95.5% of the respondents were aware of implants in varying degrees, and for the majority of them, their dentist was their primary source of information, followed by friends, family, and electronic media. While the majority of participants claimed that the cost of implants prevented them from considering getting one, 33.5% of them believed that the type of implant was the most crucial element influencing the treatment’s outcome. Conclusion: The results of this survey reveal that most geriatric patients are aware of implant treatment, but lack correct information. Dentists must pay close attention to patient-based assessment and education to assist patients and families comprehend the benefits and drawbacks of implant therapy.","PeriodicalId":341534,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Geriatrics and Gerontology","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123794273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
