The association between cognitive frailty and the risk of fall occurrence in older adults: a meta-analysis of cohort studies by Jian Liu, Jian Liu, Jian Liu, Yu Wu, Yu Wu, Yu Wu, Zongke Long, Simeng Zhang, Shicai Wu, Shicai Wu, Shicai Wu

“…The results of Meta-analysis showed that the cognitive frailty group increased the risk of occurrence of falls in older adults [OR = 1.38, 95% CI (1.09, 1.73), p = 0.006]. Subgroup analyses showed that cognitive frailty in older adults increased the risk of fall occurrence using different cognitive frailty assessment tools, study participants from the community, different regions, and different sample sizes.ConclusionThe results of this study suggest that cognitive frailty in older adults is an independent risk factor for the occurrence of falls, and it is recommended that caregivers strengthen the assessment of cognitive aspects of older adults admitted to the hospital.…”

Clopidogrel combined with rivaroxaban in peripheral artery disease after revascularization by Min Lu, Jiaqi Li, Huanyu Ni, Tong Qiao, Baoyan Wang

“…When analyzed separately, clopidogrel-rivaroxaban combination was associated with a reduced risk of MALE (HR: 0.61, 95%CI: 0.41–0.91), although no significant differences were observed in terms of MACE (HR: 0.64, 95%CI: 0.34–1.20) or all bleeding events (HR: 1.00, 95%CI: 0.52–1.93). In the subgroup analysis, there were no significant interactions between the treatment groups and the subgroups of age, diabetes, lesion sites, Rutherford classifications and renal function for composite outcome, MACE and MALE.ConclusionThe clopidogrel-rivaroxaban combination in PAD patients may offer enhanced cardiovascular protection without increasing the risk of bleeding complications. …”
