To evaluate medication adherence level and identify predictors of poor medication adherence in elderly patients with Cardiovascular (CVS) diseases and type 2 diabetes in Jordan.This cross-sectional study was conducted on...
In this study, 210 (41.5%) elderly patients showed low to moderate adherence levels compared with 296 (58.5%) patients who showed a high level of adherence according to the MGL adherence scale.

Evidence on the effects of frailty, undernutrition, and heart failure (HF) on patients with hip fractures is scarce. This retrospective cohort study aimed to examine the effects of undernutrition and...
Patients with a simultaneous presence of malnutrition and HF had worse ADL improvement and worse cognitive level improvement.

Medication adherence in chronic conditions is a long-term process. Modeling longitudinal trajectories using routinely collected prescription data is a promising method for describing adherence patterns and identifying at-risk groups. The...
The central finding of this study underscores that <50% of patients with HF prescribed sacubitril/valsartan maintain high medication adherence within 1 year from the initial prescription.
Predictive Value of the Hemoglobin-Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index in Patients With Heart Failure
Source : https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/15/22/4789
Malnutrition prevails among patients with heart failure (HF), increasing the likelihood of functional decline. We assessed the predictive value of the Hemoglobin-Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (H-GNRI)-combining hemoglobin and the Geriatric...
Researchers found that the H-GNRI score was associated with BI at discharge, BI gain, BI efficiency, length of hospital stay, in-hospital mortality, discharge to home or a nursing home, and hospitalization-associated disability.
