老年急性胆源性胰腺炎的内镜治疗

目的探讨老年病人急性胆源性胰腺炎患者早期行内镜下逆行胰胆管造影检查和治疗的临床疗效及安全性。方法 87例急性胆源性胰腺炎住院患者,其中老年病人23例(老年组),其余64例为对照组,观察两组的疗效和安全性。结果 23例老年病人均顺利实行了ERCP操作,病情均得到不同程度的改善,同对照组相比没有明显增加并发症率。结论内镜下逆行胰管造影对于治疗老年病人急性胆源性胰腺炎具有微创、安全、有效,是治疗老年病人胆源性胰腺炎的一种有效的方法。

Heart failure in the elderly

The aging of the population is, currently, a major phenomenon, drawing the attention of a number of investigators. The significant increase of life expectancies over the past few decades, in addition to social and economic consequences, has lead to a major change in the morbidity and mortality profile of elders. Heart failure （HF） is a condition in which the heart can not pump enough blood to meet the body＇s needs. HF is predominantly a disorder of the elderly with rates increasing exponentially. The prevalence of HF approximately doubles with each decade of life. As people live longer, the occurrence of HF rises, as well as other conditions that complicate its treatment. Impaired heart function implies a reduced duration of survival. Fortunately, many factors that can prevent HF and improve outcome are known and can be applied at any stage. This review emphasizes the importance of factors inherent in aging itself, focusing on heart disease, particularly as a disease of aging, can help critically refine management of this acute and chronic disease, as well as foster preventive strategies to reduce the incidence of this common malady.

Geriatric oncology: problems with under-treatment within this population

We are currently faced with an aging population, which is rapidly growing worldwide. Two thirds of cancer occurs in the over 65-year age group. Societal conceptions from the past have created ageist stereotypes; old age is associated with frailty and the elderly are perceived to be destined for deterioration and loss of independence. Cancer within the elderly is also subject to these stereotypes, with elderly cancer patients considered by some not as likely to recover as younger patients with cancer. We summarise and review the current concerns regarding elderly management and treatments utilised for the management of oncological disease in the elderly, and discuss the impact of under-treatment within this population.

A centenarian transcatheter aortic valve implantation case

Aortic stenosis （AS） has become a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among a growing population of older adults. The number of elderly patients with severe symptomatic AS requiring aortic valve replacement has been significantly increasing in recent years.

60岁及以上社区卫生服务中心就诊患者自强能力评估的问卷调查

目的了解≥60岁患者于社区卫生服务中心(CHC)全科门诊就诊后的自强能力水平及其影响因素。方法对2018年9月3—15日就诊于上海市长风和枫林CHC全科门诊的460例≥60岁患者,在完成医生诊疗后进行问卷调查,内容包括自制的健康状况调查表、患者自强评估量表(PEI)、中文健康问卷(CHQ-12)、诊疗关系共情量表(CARE)。结果按样本量估算发放460份问卷,回收问卷460份且均合格(100.00%)。PEI总分为3.0(0.0,6.0)分[M(Q1,Q3)],其中340例(73.91%)自强能力改善阳性(PEI总分≥1分)。单因素分析显示,患者的性别(Z=-2.32,P=0.02)、年龄(H=9.73,P<0.01)、就诊原因(H=42.06,P<0.01)、近1年健康状况(H=8.28,P=0.02)、与医生交流的时间(H=22.92,P<0.01)、患者认为交流时间是否充足(H=41.83,P<0.01)、医生询问病情详细程度(H=81.11,P<0.01)、接诊医生是否是患者的签约医生(Z=-3.42,P<0.01)、对此次就诊满意度(H=38.64,P<0.01)、CHQ-12总分(Z=-2.01,P=0.04)、CARE总分(H=288.06,P<0.01),对老年患者自强能力有影响。多元线性回归分析显示,年龄60~69岁(P=0.03)、只因急性病就诊(P<0.01)、近1年健康状况好(P<0.01)及一般(P<0.01)、与医生交流时间<3 min(P<0.01)及3~<5 min(P<0.01)、患者认为交流时间充足(P<0.01)及一般(P<0.01)、医师询问病情详细(P=0.03)及一般(P=0.01)、接诊医生是患者的签约医生(P<0.01)、CHQ-12总分≥4分(P<0.01)、CARE总分为中分组(P<0.01)及高分组(P<0.01),是老年患者就诊后自强能力的影响因素,对患者PEI得分变异的总体贡献率为73.40%(F=50.08,P<0.01)。结论CHC全科门诊就诊老年患者自强能力较低,患者的年龄、就诊原因、近1年健康状况、与医生的交流时间、患者认为交流时间是否充足、医生询问病情详细程度、接诊医生是否为签约医生、CHQ-12总分、CARE总分相关。
