“…Briefly, the SUS is the most widely used standardized questionnaire to measure perceived usability [ 10 , 15 , 29 , 30 ], while the TAM is the most applied theoretical model for evaluating or predicting users’ acceptance of new technologies [ 31 ]. Lastly, the MMSE is a widely accepted questionnaire to assess cognitive function in older adults [ 32 ].…”

Background Wearable activity trackers have the potential to encourage users to adopt healthier lifestyles by tracking daily health information. However, usability is a critical factor in technology adoption. Older adults may be more resistant to accepting novel technologies. Understanding the difficulties that older adults face when using activity trackers may be useful for implementing strategies to promote their use. Objective The purpose of this study was to conduct a transcultural adaptation of the User Satisfaction Evaluation Questionnaire (USEQ) into European Portuguese and validate the adapted questionnaire. Additionally, we aimed to provide information about older adults’ satisfaction regarding the use of an activity tracker (Xiaomi Mi Band 2). Methods The USEQ was translated following internationally accepted guidelines. The psychometric evaluation of the final version of the translated USEQ was assessed based on structural validity using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. Construct validity was examined using divergent and discriminant validity analysis, and internal consistency was evaluated using Cronbach α and McDonald ω coefficients. Results A total of 110 older adults completed the questionnaire. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the conceptual unidimensionality of the USEQ (χ24=7.313, P=.12, comparative fit index=0.973, Tucker-Lewis index=0.931, goodness of fit index=0.977, root mean square error of approximation=0.087, standardized root mean square residual=0.038). The internal consistency showed acceptable reliability (Cronbach α=.677, McDonald ω=0.722). Overall, 90% of the participants reported excellent satisfaction with the Xiaomi Mi Band 2. Conclusions The findings support the use of this translated USEQ as a valid and reliable tool for measuring user satisfaction with wearable activity trackers in older adults, with psychometric properties consistent with the original version.

“…The inclusion criteria were as follows: 1 Data including first author, publication year, study design, country, year of survey, sample size, mean age, percentage of females, Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) score (i.e., the most frequently used cognitive screening test; the total score ranges from 0 to 30 33,34 ) and oral health outcomes (i.e., DMFT index; number of missing, decayed, filled and remaining teeth) were independently extracted by two researchers (Liang-Nan Zeng and Qian-Qian Zong) using a standard Excel sheet. For cohort studies, only the baseline data were extracted; for multiple articles based on the same dataset, only the one with the largest sample size was included.…”

Objective Poor oral health is common in dementia, but findings of epidemiological studies have been inconsistent. This meta‐analysis examined oral health in patients with dementia diagnosed according to standardized diagnostic criteria. Methods Six international databases (PubMed, EMBASE, PsycINFO, Medline, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science) were searched from their commencement date until 8 November 2018. Oral health was measured by the Remaining Teeth (RT) and Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth (DMFT) Index. The mean differences (MD) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of DMFT Index total and component scores were calculated using a random‐effect model. Results Twenty‐four studies were included for analyses. The pooled DMFT Index was 23.48 (95% CI: 22.34, 24.62), while the pooled score for each component was 2.38 (95% CI: 1.56, 3.20) in decayed teeth (DT), 18.39 (95% CI: 15.92, 20.87) in missing teeth (MT), 2.29 (95% CI: 0.62, 3.95) in filled teeth (FT), and 11.59 (95% CI: 9.14, 14.05) in RT. Compared to controls, people with dementia had significantly a higher DMFT Index total score (MD = 3.80, 95% CI: 2.21, 5.39, p < 0.00,001), and significantly lower number of RT (MD = −3.15, 95% CI: −4.23, −2.06, p < 0.00,001). Subgroup analyses revealed that higher DMFT Index score was significantly associated with year of survey (>2010), study design (case‐control study), percentage of females (≤54.3), and the Mini Mental State Examination score (≤18.2). Higher MT score was significantly associated with study design (cross‐sectional study), and lower FT score was significantly associated with year of survey (>2010). Conclusions Oral health was significantly poorer in people with dementia compared with controls. Regular screening and effective treatment should be implemented for this population.

“…MMSE is a POCD screening scale that is simple to operate and has good sensitivity. It is suitable for repeated assessment of cognitive status over time and can reflect the cognitive function status of patients [Myrberg 2020]. Studies have shown that in elderly patients undergoing cardiac surgery, postoperative intravenous acetaminophen combined with intravenous injection of propofol or Dex can reduce postoperative delirium [Subramaniam 2019].…”

Background: To study the effect of dexmedetomidine (Dex) on the expression of Neuroglobin (Ngb) and postoperative cognitive function in elderly patients undergoing minimally invasive coronary artery bypass surgery. Methods: Forty patients, who underwent elective minimally invasive off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting in our hospital from January 2018 to December 2019, were randomly divided into the Dex group (N = 20) and control group (N = 20). Venous blood samples were taken to determine the expression level of Ngb in both groups. Mini mental status examination (MMSE) was used to detect the cognitive function of patients. Results: The expression level of Ngb in the Dex group was significantly higher than that in the control group at 6h after one-lung ventilation and postoperative 24h (P < .01). The MMSE score of the Dex group was significantly higher than the control group at postoperative 7 days and postoperative 30 days (P < .01). Although with no statistical significance, the MMSE score of the Dex group was higher than the control group at postoperative 90 days (P > .05). The incidence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in the Dex group was significantly lower than that in the control group at postoperative 7 days and postoperative 30 days (P < .05). Conclusion: Dex used in elderly patients undergoing minimally invasive coronary artery bypass graft surgery can effectively increase the expression level of Ngb and reduce the incidence of POCD.
