We presented a case of a 87-year-old woman hospitalized for chronic watery diarrhea, affected by multimorbidities. After excluding other causes of diarrhea by biohumoral and microbiological tests, endoscopy was performed without revealing any macroscopic abnormalities, but, at histological examination of random biopsies, the characteristic features of collagenous colitis were found. Lansoprazolo and sertraline, chronically taken by the patient, was discontinued, and budesonide was started with prompt clinical improvement. Collagenous colitis is a rare cause of chronic diarrhea in advanced age, but it should be suspected in patients with polypharmacotherapy, after an accurate differential diagnosis.

The current clinical case concerns the mixed delirium in a 70-year-old man with hip fracture, following a fall at home. In his medical history, the patient reported several comorbidities, among which also sarcopenia. De-lirium was already diagnosed by the geriatrician on hospital admission. The patient underwent hip endoprosthesis surgery after 24 hours without any intra-operative complications. However, in the post-operative period delirium persisted, causing a prolonged hospital stay, a delayed physio-therapy rehabilitation with poor functional recovery, and subsequent institutionalization. The prevalence of delirium in older people with hip fracture is extremely high and it is associated with several negative outcomes. De-lirium is considered a multifactorial disorder, and, in particular, sarcopenia appears directly linked to the development of delirium. The systematic assessment of sarcopenia should be performed in hospitalized older patients with hip fracture, together with the other predisposing risk factors for delirium, to timely identify people at higher risk for both delirium and disability.

Objective . To validate a survey tool in Italian, useful for assessing the perceptions and beliefs of healthcare professionals with respect to the person with dementia, with particular attention to the levels of dignity and personality (Personhood) that operators address to residents of facilities for the elderly. Methods . Data collection took place in two distinct periods, the first (T1) from May 2021 to July 2021; the second starting from December 2021 to February 2022 (T2). Results . The test-retest stability in the two measurements performed was confirmed by the value of the correlation coefficient Rho, very high and statistically significant (p < .05) in the comparison of each item at T1 and T2, respectively. Conclusions . The validity of the construct of the tool could be studied by future research through a more widespread use able to provide data and food for thought to enrich the debate currently underway.

Background and aims . High risk medications use is common at hospitals and poses a major risk for frail older adults. The study aims to determine the association between Potentially Inappropriate Prescrip-tions (PIPs) and hospital outcome among geriatric patients. Methods . A retrospective cohort study including 152 older adults (age ≥ 60 years). These patients were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) at Geriatrics hospital from August 1 st , 2021 to January 1 st , 2022. Age, sex, clinical data and medications used throughout admission were extracted for each patient. The target outcome was in-hospital mortality. PIPs were identified in accordance with Screening Tool of Older Per-sons’ potentially inappropriate Prescriptions version 2 (STOPP v. 2). Logistic regression analysis was done to test the association between use of PIPs and in-hospital mortality. Descriptive statistics was performed for PIPs and medications use near the end of life. Results . PIPs occurred in 67.8% (103 patients) of participants. Multi-variate regression analysis revealed independent predictors of mortality including older age (OR = 1.075; 95% CI: 1.020-1.134; P .007), delirium/ altered mental status on admission (OR = 2.688; 95% CI: 1.086-6.651; P .032), and utilizing of ≥ 3 PIPs (OR = 4.049; 95% CI: 1.320-12.421; P .014). Use of anticholinergics in patients with delirium or dementia was the most frequently reported PIPs among participants. Conclu-sions. PIPs are common and significantly associated with mortality among hospitalized older adults. The study provides an overview for high risk medications and recommends a structured medication reviews and de-prescribing practice for frail older adults.
