Abstract:
BACKGROUND:The perioperative assessment and management of elderly patients with hip fracture and significant aortic stenosis (AS) is an increasingly common clinical problem with little data available to guide perioperative management.
OBJECTIVES:It was the aim of this study to examine the incidence of perioperative events in an elderly population of patients with severe AS undergoing repair of hip fracture as compared with controls without severe AS.
METHODS:Patients over the age of 70 with an echocardiographic diagnosis of severe AS defined as an aortic valve area journal_name journal_title authors doi subject pub_date pages issue eissn issn pii journal_volume pub_type

GERONTOLOGY文献大全abstract:BACKGROUND:Developmental researchers use a variety of research designs to examine aging-related changes. Most longitudinal studies of aging are based on research designs that feature successive, widely spaced, assessments to estimate changes in cognitive performance. Such designs assume that short-term variations in co...
