Creating such plans improve the function of morbid and frail elderly, and can be time-consuming, requiring a multidisciplinary team of health-care professionals. ChatGPT can generate human-like responses to text inputs, making it a valuable tool for health-care professionals in creating personalized rehabilitation plans. The review outlines a case study in which trial and error questioning was done to develop a set of optimal parameters that can be input into ChatGPT to develop personalized rehabilitation plans for patients. Six case scenarios involving different organ systems were assessed by expert geriatricians for quality of advice. ChatGPT use offered several benefits for developing personalized plans, such as its easy and free accessibility, personalized chatbot, ability to integrate complex multiple morbidities, and reduced need for extra personnel. However, its limitations include limited accuracy, no reference of information, bioethical considerations, lack of information storing capabilities, and patient mistrust in machine learning software. Overall, our review suggests that ChatGPT has the potential to be an excellent tool for developing personalized rehabilitation plans for elderly patients. However, it is important to consider the limitations and ensure that health-care professionals review and approve any plans generated by ChatGPT before implementing them. It is crucial to note that ChatGPT should be used to support clinical decision-making rather than replace health-care professionals' expertise and knowledge.","PeriodicalId":350641,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Indian Academy of Geriatrics","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134067243","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}

Objective: This study was done to determine inhospital mortality and ascertain the factors predicting mortality among older inpatients with sepsis. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective observational study, from March 2018 to September 2019 in a tertiary care center in India. Baseline clinical, demographic, laboratory parameters and mortality were recorded from patients above the age of 60 years with a diagnosis of sepsis who were admitted to either the ward or intensive care unit (ICU). Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine predictors of inhospital mortality. Results: We found that 201 patients, predominantly male (64.6%) with a mean (standard deviation) age of 70.3 (7.8) years and a median (interquartile range) admission Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score of 5 (3–7), were admitted with sepsis. Lung infection was the most common source of sepsis (47.2%). Seventy-three patients (36.3%) required ICU admission, and inhospital mortality was 40.2%. Predictors of mortality included high Charlson Comorbidity Index (odds ratio [OR]: 1.3, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.1–1.6, P = 0.08), serum albumin (OR: 0.41, 95% CI: 0.20–0.80, P = 0.009), invasive mechanical ventilation (OR: 3.24, 95% CI: 1.2–8.9, P = 0.022), and the use of vasoactive agents (OR: 7.44, 95% CI: 2.8–19.9, P < 0.001). Blood culture positivity was found to have a survival benefit on Kaplan–Meier estimates. Conclusion: The mortality rate in older inpatients with sepsis was 40.2%. A high comorbidity burden, low serum albumin, and the need for invasive mechanical ventilation and vasoactive agents were independent predictors of mortality.","PeriodicalId":350641,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Indian Academy of Geriatrics","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128190172","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}

Results: Males consisted of more than two-third of the patients and complete atrioventricular block was the most common conduction pathology. Fascicular and Bundle branch blocks appeared to have a male preponderance, whereas sinus node dysfunction was found to have statistically significant association with the female cohort. Most of the patients were implanted out of admission from cardiac emergency and single chamber ventricle paced and sensed, inhibition response with rate adaptation (VVIR) mode was the predominant modality of pacing management, not found to be influenced by the age or sex of the patients. However, there was a statistical correlation noted of utilization of dual chamber Dual paced and sensed, dual inhibition with rate adaptation (DDDR) mode in patients with sick sinus pathology.

Materials and Methods: In this retrospective, cross-sectional study, medical records from the dermatology outpatient clinics were assessed. Patients over 60 years old and attending the dermatology outpatient clinic between November 2021 and June 2022 were included in the study. Results: Of 1182 records, 663 were male (56%) and 519 were female (43.9%). Most of the patients were in the age group between 60 and 70 years (71.7%). Overall, the most frequent dermatologic diseases in this cohort of patients were infections (41.37%), eczematous dermatitis (30.02%), and papulosquamous disorders (9.39%). Among the physiological changes of aging skin, xerosis was the most common manifestation observed in 66 (5.5%) cases, followed by seborrheic keratosis in 24 (2%) cases. Twelve (1.01%) individuals had premalignant and malignant lesions identified. Bowen's disease (n = 5, 0.4%), basal cell carcinoma (n = 6, 0.5%), and leukoplakia (n = 1) were the most prevalent. Conclusion: Dermatoses in the older population are among the most common causes of daily consultations. In our study, infectious causes of dermatoses are more common than eczematous diseases. We discovered a higher prevalence of premalignant diseases like Bowen's disease, emphasizing the need for screening in people of skin color.","PeriodicalId":350641,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Indian Academy of Geriatrics","volume":"449 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134237356","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 sensitivity of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) metrics to predict the clinical outcome using the modified Rankin Scale and Barthel score in early stroke was the objective of the study. Materials and Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted between October 2019 and October 2021 involving 86 patients with stroke. DTI sequences were taken on day 2–day 10 after the stroke. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) was obtained at the time of the scan. The modified Rankin Score (MRS) and Barthel index scoring were used to do the clinical assessment and were done on day 7, day 30, and day 90. Results: There was a weak positive correlation between the NIHSS and Fractional Anisotropy (FA) and the NIHSS and axial diffusivity curve. There was a strong positive correlation between the NIHSS and voxels (infarct), and this correlation was statistically significant (rho = 0.75 and P ≤ 0.001. There was a weak positive correlation between the relative Average Diffusion Coefficient (rADC) and MRS of day 7, day 30, and day 90. There was a strong positive correlation between the voxels and NIHSS, and this correlation was statistically significant (rho = 0.75 and P ≤ 0.001). Conclusions: The NIHSS is a well-known clinical indicator to classify the severity of stroke. DTI metrics – FA and relative Fractional Anisotropy (rFA) are surrogate markers to predict the long-term motor outcome in stroke patients.","PeriodicalId":350641,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Indian Academy of Geriatrics","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129787218","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}

Although it can affect all age groups, it is relatively less common in older adults. Renal involvement is a rare, and as initial presentation even rarer reported, a serious complication of SS, which can have a significant impact on patients' quality of life, functional and physical status, and their overall survival. This is a case report of an elderly male patient who presented to us with rapidly progressive renal dysfunction and uremic symptoms, who was diagnosed as a case of SS with a high possibility of renal involvement. However, the patient succumbed to sepsis before the initiation of disease-modifying therapy. This case report emphasizes an extensive workup of unexplained renal dysfunction, even in geriatric patients, so that potentially manageable conditions like SS can be caught early, and allow early initiation of disease-modifying therapies that can slow down progression, and prevent life-threatening exacerbations of such diseases, which overall will reduce morbidity burden and improve quality of life of elderly patients.","PeriodicalId":350641,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Indian Academy of Geriatrics","volume":"105 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114466548","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}
