At week-4, there were no differences in 2.4 m gait-velocity (0.42 m/s vs 0.39 m/s, p = .490), fractures (2.7 % vs 2.8 %, p = .964) but Active participants reported less falls (6.3 % vs 21.1 %, χ² = 4.327; p = 0.024), with no significant reduction in deaths at week-4 (1 vs 3, p = 0.295), higher percentage reporting ‘no pain or discomfort’ (96.4 % vs 88.8 %, p = 0.037), and trended for higher EuroQoL-scores (p = 0.092) at week-26. One case of hypercalcemia at week-2 normalised by week-4. Conclusion: Among older people after hip fracture surgery, the REVITAHIP strategy is a safe and low cost method of improving vitamin-D levels, reducing falls and pain levels.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:18:26 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40862 p = 0.003) and ED presentations (p = 0.021) at 3 months. Within the at-risk subgroup of mild cognitively impaired, the HOME intervention significantly reduced unplanned hospitalizations (p = 0.027), but the effect did not reach significance in ED visits. While the effect of HOME differed according to support received from family for participation in life roles (p = 0.019), the participation observed in HOME patients with no support was not significantly improved. Conclusions: Findings show that hospitalized older adults with mild cognitive impairment benefit from the HOME intervention, which involves preparation and post-discharge support in the environment, to reduce unplanned re-hospitalizations. Improved discharge outcomes in this at-risk subgroup following an occupational therapist-led intervention may enable best care delivery as patients transition from hospital to home.]]> Tue 19 Jul 2022 14:03:33 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51414 Mon 04 Sep 2023 14:52:01 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45496 Fri 28 Oct 2022 15:53:24 AEDT ]]>
