Geriatrics update 2018: Challenges in mental health, mobility, and postdischarge care

Luke D Kim et al. Cleve Clin J Med. 2018 Dec.

Abstract

A review of articles on geriatric topics from 2017 and 2018 revealed evidence supporting exercise for the elderly, early mobility for hospitalized patients, and oral anticoagulant therapy for atrial fibrillation to support cognitive function, and evidence against antipsychotic drugs for dementia-associated behaviors. No silver bullet was found for Alzheimer prevention or therapy.
