BackgroundAcute heart failure (AHF) is a heterogeneous condition, and its characteristics and management patterns differ by region. Furthermore, limited evidence is available on AHF outside of Western countries. A project by the National Consortium of Acute Heart Failure Registries was designed to evaluate the trends over time in patient backgrounds, in‐hospital management patterns, and long‐term outcomes of patients with AHF over 9 years in Japan.Methods and ResultsBetween 2007 and 2015, registry data for patients with AHF were collected from 3 large‐scale quality AHF registries (ATTEND/WET‐HF/REALITY‐AHF). Predefined end points were trends over time in age, sex, and clinical outcomes, including short‐ and long‐term mortality and readmission for heart failure. The final data set consisted of 9075 patients with AHF. No significant differences in patient backgrounds and laboratory findings (eg, anemia or renal function) were observed, with the exception of patient age; mean age became substantially higher over 9 years (71.6–77.0 years; P for trend, <0.001). On the contrary, length of hospital stay became shorter (mean, 26–16 days). These changes were not associated with in‐hospital mortality (4.7–7.5%) or 30‐day heart failure readmission rate (4.8–5.4%), as well as 1‐year mortality and heart failure readmission rate (20.1–23.3% and 23.6–26.2%, respectively).ConclusionsLength of hospital stay in patients with AHF shortened over the 9‐year period despite the increasing age of the patients. However, short‐ and long‐term outcomes do not seem to be affected; continuous efforts to monitor clinical outcomes in patients with AHF are needed.

Objective: to identify the perspective of elderly persons on healthy aging as described by scientific literature. Method: a descriptive integrative review type study was performed, guided by the question: what knowledge has been produced about healthy aging from the perspective of the elderly? It was carried out using the Scopus Info Site (SCOPUS), Cumulative Index to Nursing & Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), Literature of Latin America and the Caribbean (LILACS), EMBASE and WEB OF SCIENCE databases and in the directory of the Scientific Electronic Library Online Journals (SciELO), for literature published in the period between 2005 and 2016. Result: Eleven papers were regarded as eligible for this review. These studies revealed that healthy aging is related to different health dimensions: biological (adoption of healthy habits and behaviors with self-responsibility), psychological (feelings of optimism and happiness), spiritual (faith and religiosity) and social (reciprocity in social support factors and the capacity to live autonomously and independently). Conclusion: the synthesis of knowledge on healthy aging from the perspective of the elderly can support the actions of professionals who work with this population group to encourage and value the social determinants involved, so overcoming the exclusive focusing on the adoption of habits and behaviors inherent to lifestyle to achieve aging in a healthy way.

“…A World Health Organization (WHO) report on ageing and health, published in 2015 (WHO 1 ), suggests there should be a shift in focus from diseases and morbidity to functional ability (1), and therefore future studies of ageing should be more specific when defining healthy ageing and, in addition to describing patterns of morbidity and mortality, it is advisable to look at physical and cognitive function (1,2). Functional ability is the key for living good independent lives throughout their life course and obtaining a high quality of life (QoL) (1).…”

Effect of animal-assisted activity on balance and quality of life in home-dwelling persons with dementia

Purpose of the study was to examine if animal-assisted activity with a dog (AAA) in homedwelling persons with dementia (PWDs) attending day-care centers would have an effect on factors related to risk of fall accidents, with balance (Berg balance scale) and quality of life (Quality of Life in Late-stage Dementia) as main outcome. The project was conducted as a prospective and cluster-randomized multicenter trial with a follow-up. 16 adapted day-care centers recruited respectively 42 (intervention group) and 38 (control group with treatment as usual) home-dwelling PWDs. The intervention consisted of 30 min sessions with AAA led by a qualified dog handler twice a week for 12 weeks in groups of 3-7 participants. The significant positive effect on balance indicates that AAA might work as a multifactorial intervention in dementia care and have useful clinical implication by affecting risk of fall.
