Shared decision making between older people with multimorbidity and GPs: a qualitative study

Emily L. Brown et al.

Summary: This study aimed to explore factors influencing shared decision making (SDM) from the perspectives of older patients with multimorbidity and general practitioners (GPs). The study found that both patients and GPs recognized clinician medicolegal vulnerability as a barrier to SDM, and highlighted the need for greater awareness of multimorbidity guidelines and training for clinicians in communicating uncertainty.

Global, regional, and national burden of diseases and injuries for adults 70 years and older: systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease 2019 Study

Group Author Only

Summary: Based on the data analysis of GBD 2019, the global population of older adults has increased since 1990, and overall mortality rates have decreased for both men and women. However, mortality rates due to falls have increased during the same period. The probability of death among people aged 70-90 has decreased, mainly due to reductions in non-communicable diseases. Globally, disability burden is mainly driven by functional decline, vision and hearing loss, and symptoms of pain. Life expectancy at age 70 (LE-70) and healthy life expectancy at age 70 (HALE-70) have shown continuous increases since 1990, with regional disparities. Higher LE-70 results in higher HALE-70 and slightly increased proportion of years in ill health at age 70 (PYIH-70). Sociodemographic factors, healthcare access and quality indices are positively correlated with HALE-70 and LE-70. Limited data are available for various dietary, environmental or occupational, and metabolic risks.

The Impact of Dementia on Cancer Treatment Decision-Making, Cancer Treatment, and Mortality: A Mixed Studies Review

Yaelin Caba et al.

Summary: The impact of dementia on cancer treatment decision-making, cancer treatment, and mortality in older adults is not well-understood, with current practices in treatment-decision making for patients with cancer and dementia being inconsistent. Patients with dementia are less likely to receive curative treatment and more likely to prefer less aggressive care, focusing on quality of life over life expectancy. There is an urgent need for treatment guidelines that consider patient and caregiver perspectives for this growing patient population.

The Impact of Dementia on Cancer Treatment Decision-Making, Cancer Treatment, and Mortality: A Mixed Studies Review

Yaelin Caba et al.

Summary: This study found that older cancer patients with dementia are more likely to receive palliative care and less likely to receive curative treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. They also have a higher mortality rate compared to cancer patients without dementia. Qualitative studies consistently show that clinicians, caregivers, and patients prefer less aggressive care for dementia patients with cancer and prioritize quality of life over life expectancy.
