We analyzed data from 5671 individuals (age 71.4 ± 9.3, 68 % female) from the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center database who were cognitively unimpaired at baseline and had 3 or more subsequent visits. 57 % had more than two chronic conditions, and 44 % were taking 5 or more medications at baseline. At baseline, we observed that individuals with MCC had lower memory, attention/working memory, semantic ability/language, processing speed, and executive function performance than those without MCC. Using mixed-effect modeling approaches, we found that having a higher number of chronic conditions was associated with greater decline in semantic ability/language and executive function, and having a higher number of medications was associated with greater decline in attention/working memory, semantic ability/language, and executive function. The findings suggest that healthcare professionals and service providers should be conscious of the fact that patients dealing with MCC and those on multiple medications are vulnerable and require careful monitoring. Future studies are warranted using more comprehensive multimorbidity data and advanced analytic approaches, and prospective, controlled trials are warranted to test whether managing MCC and reducing the number of unnecessary medications or certain medications can prevent decline.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8306,"journal":{"name":"Archives of gerontology and geriatrics","volume":"134 ","pages":"Article 105846"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143824040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Patients aged 75 or over, at a high risk of death (according to the DAMAGE prognostic score) and discharged alive to home or to a nursing home from an acute geriatric unit will be included and followed up for 12 months. We plan to randomize 104 patients into a control group or an intervention group. The patients in the intervention group will receive an in-home intervention by an expert advanced practice nurse trained in the implementation of ACP. The primary outcome will focus on the intervention's feasibility: the proportion of patients included and randomized, the proportion completing in the study, and the proportion having engaged in ACP within a month of discharge. A secondary efficacy outcome will be compliance with advance directives (drafted at the time of ACP) at 12 months in each of the two study groups. Symptom's of anxiety and depression, the intervention's acceptability, and changes in quality of life will be documented in patients, family carers, and professional caregivers. The patients' and caregivers' experience of the intervention will be explored in qualitative analyses.
