The Compulsory Removal of Elderly People in England and Wales under Section 47 of the National Assistance Act and its 1951 Amendment: A Survey of its Implementation in England and Wales in 1988 and 1989
NAIR, P.
MAYBERRY, J. F.
Articles
Section 47 of the National Assistance Act 1948 and its 1951 Amendment allow for the compulsory removal from their homes of predominantly elderly people to a place of safety. The Amendment has been in use for over 40 years. Little information is available on the workings of the Acts in England and Wales. For the period 1988 to 1989 inclusive, 771 requests for compulsory removal were received by 148 ‘proper officers’. We examined referrals and removals under the Acts. During this time 165 people were removed. The majority of referrals were from family practitioners (46%), but social workers also played a role (18%). Of the 165 people who were actually removed from their homes, 41 were removed under Section 47 of the National Assistance Act and 124 under its 1951 Amendment. The outcome of compulsory removal was only known in 126 instances. In 34% of cases the person was transferred to residential care and 24% returned home; 18% of the detainees died during their compulsory admission. The outcome varied significantly between health regions (<it>X</it>2 = 72; p < 0.001), with for example apparently high death rates in the North West, Trent and South West regions. For a disturbing 24% of people nothing is known of their fate. A mandatory reporting system to examine the use of this legislation is required.

Cost Analysis of Fracture of the Neck of Femur
FRENCH, FIONA H.
TORGERSON, DAVID J.
PORTER, RICHARD W.
Articles
A detailed cost analysis of fractures of the neck of femur in elderly patients has been conducted at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. The aims of this study were as follows: (1) to show that the use of average orthopaedic bed day costs can lead to an overestimation of costs; (2) to identify the key explanatory variables of hip fracture costs; and (3) to identify differences in resource consumption between patient groups. The care of 50 first and ten second (contralateral) hip fracture patients admitted to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary in 1993 was costed in considerable detail. Acute care, convalescence, rehabilitation and operations accounted for more than 90% of total costs in both groups. It was found that patients who were admitted from their own homes cost significantly more than patients who were admitted from long-term care (£4018 vs. £2069; p < 0.001). In order to validate the costed samples, additional data were collected on all hip fracture patients admitted to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary in 1993. The main factors in explaining cost variation were the number of days spent in acute care and convalescence or rehabilitation [r2 = 0.62; logcost = (0.009 × acute days] + (0.01 × rehabilitation days] + 3.213]. Age and place of residence prior to admission explained a further 2.8% of total costs but neither variable was statistically significant. When costing fractures of the neck of femur, we recommend the collection of a minimum data set of these four variables which account for 65% of the variation in total costs.

Inhaler Technique of Elderly Patients: Comparison of Metered-dose Inhalers and Large Volume Spacer Devices
CONNOLLY, M. J.
Articles
Large volume spacers (LVSs) reduce systemic absorption of steroid from metered-dose inhalers (MDIs) but there are no data to support the widespread belief that LVSs are easy for older people to use. MDI and LVS technique was examined in 40 inhaler-naive patients [19 men; 70–92 (mean 78.3) years] with chronic airways disease and mental test scores >7/10. On day 1, technique was taught and errors corrected if possible. Technique was scored and patients asked which device they preferred. They were prescribed the device with which they were most competent. Those competent with both were given a device randomly. Technique was reassessed on day 29 without further tuition. On day 1 only three patients (8%) had inadequate technique for LVS vs. 12 (30%) for MDI (<it>X</it>2 = 6.90; p = 0.032). The main problems were inability to trigger the device (two patients with both devices), problems co-ordinating triggering and inhalation (20 patients with MDI), problems inserting the MDI into the LVS (seven patients), and unnecessary repetitive firing of the LVS (three patients); 28 (70%) preferred LVSs. On day 29, 29/30 (97%) with LVSs used them adequately, as did 13/15 (87%) using MDIs (five patients used both). LVSs have advantages over MDIs for elderly patients in terms of patient preference and inhaler technique.

The Prognostic Significance of Protein-energy Malnutrition in Geriatric Patients
MÜHLETHALER, REGULA
STUCK, ANDREAS E.
MINDER, CHRISTOPH E.
FREY, BRIGITTE M.
Articles
Although it has been shown that protein-energy malnutrition is a predictor of adverse outcome in geriatric patients, it is unclear whether this is due to underlying disease or disability, or whether malnutrition is an independent outcome predictor. To clarify the predictive role of malnutrition, we analysed the 4.5-year mortality and living location follow-ups of 219 geriatric patients admitted to a geriatric assessment unit. Prevalence of anthropometric and serological malnutrition indicators were between 13.7% and 39.8% at hospital admission. In bivariate models, prealbumin, subnormal arm muscle area, and subnormal body weight were predictors of mortality and survival at home. On the other hand, albumin, transferrin, and triceps skin-fold thickness did not predict these outcomes. In multivariate models the hazard ratio (HR) of 4.5-year mortality remained significant with an HR of 1.8 (95% CI 1.3−2.6) for subnormal arm muscle area, and 1.6 (95% CI 1.3−2.6) for subnormal body weight. Prealbumin was the strongest serological outcome predictor (multivariate mortality HR 1.9, 95% CI, 1.3−2.8). In these models, subnormal cognitive function, impaired physical function, and creatinine clearance < 30 ml/min were also associated with increased mortality. Malnutrition did not predict hospital discharge location, but among patients discharged home, those with initial malnutrition had a decreased length of survival at home. Our findings indicate that certain protein-energy malnutrition indicators are independent risk factors predicting decreased length of overall survival and survival at home in geriatric patients. Physicians should screen actively for this often unrecognized problem and initiate appropriate treatment strategies.

Age-related Discrimination in the Use of Fibrinolytic Therapy in Acute Myocardial Infarction in Norway
PETTERSEN, KJELL I.
Articles
Age-related use of fibrinolytic therapy in acute myocardial infarction was studied for patients admitted to the intensive care unit in four hospitals comprising 10% of the national hospital bed capacity in Norway. Altogether, 446 patients were included. All had validated acute myocardial infarction or acute ischaemic coronary heart disease treated with fibrinolytic medication. The fibrinolytic treatment rate decreased linearly from 74% among patients younger than 50 years to 15% among those older than 80 (p < 0.0001). In a multiple logistic regression, low age, short pre-hospital time and no previous myocardial infarction strongly predicted use of fibrinolytic therapy (p < 0.0001), and male sex was a significant predictor for use of fibrinolytic therapy (p = 0.01).

Control over Future Health in Old Age: Characteristics of Believers and Sceptics
CAMPBELL, A. JOHN
BUSBY, WENDY J.
ROBERTSON, M. CLARE
HORWATH, CAROLINE C.
Articles
In a cross-sectional study of a total population aged 70 years and over in a rural New Zealand township (sample size 682) we investigated factors which characterize those who felt they had a great deal of control and those who felt they had little or no control over future health. In a significant logistic regression model those with a feeling of a great deal of control over future health had a lower prevalence of chronic obstructive lung disease, higher prevalence of diabetes, took less alcohol, were more likely to be satisfied with bowel function, had a lower protein intake, were more likely to participate in strenuous to moderate activity and were less likely to have features of depression. Different perceptions of control were associated with significant differences in health practices and health status.

The Levodopa Test in Parkinson's Disease
D'COSTA, D. F.
SHEEHAN, L. J.
PHILLIPS, P. A.
MOORE-SMITH, B.
Articles
The clinical diagnosis of Parkinson's disease may be difficult. In elderly patients there may be other causes of the triad of rigidity, bradykinesia and tremor. This study was designed to assess whether a single levodopa challenge could predict dopa responsiveness in patients with Parkinson's disease. Twenty-two of 27 newly diagnosed patients completed the study. Of the 22, 17 (77%) responded positively to the initial test and five (23%) showed no response. At 1 month, 18 (82%) were improved on treatment and four (18%) were not. Thus the initial test predicted 17 (94%) of the 18 who responded at 1 month and correctly identified the response of 21 (95%) of the 22 patients. There was only one false negative result. Patients with negative results turned out to have other parkinsonian syndromes. A positive levodopa test helps to confirm the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease and a negative test should alert one to alternative diagnoses.

The Relationship between Age and Cutaneous Aryl Hydrocarbon Hydroxylase (AHH) Activity
WILLIAMS, DELYTH
WOODHOUSE, KEN
Articles
Aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH), a component of the mixed-function oxygenase system, has been identified in liver and in many extrahepatic tissues, including the skin. In this study, the effect of ageing on cutaneous AHH activity in both male and female Wistar and Brown Norwegian rats of two age groups (average ages being 44 and 130 weeks) was assessed using benzo(α)pyrene as substrate and by measuring the formation of the fluorescent metabolite 3-hydroxybenzo(α)pyrene. Results show that cutaneous metabolism of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons does not change between young adulthood and senescence in either male or female rats. Sex-related differences did occur, however, and may be explained, partly, by the existence of different molecular forms of cyt-P450. In conclusion, age does not appear to be a major determinant of basal cutaneous AHH activity in rats.

Self-reported Tooth Loss and Bone Mineral Density in Older Men and Women
MAY, HELEN
READER, ROSEMARY
MURPHY, SEAN
KHAW, KAY-TEE
Articles
It has been reported that postmenopausal women with osteoporosis have a higher than expected number of dentures and fewer teeth than women without osteoporosis. The relationship between self-reported tooth loss and bone mineral density (BMD) at the hip and spine in 608 men and 874 women, aged 65–76 years, was examined in a cross-sectional study. BMD was measured using dual X-ray absorptiometry. Twenty-four per cent of men and 27% of women had no natural teeth. There was a consistent decrease in BMD with increasing numbers of teeth lost in men. This relationship was independent of age, body mass index and smoking habit (trochanter r = −0.14, p <0.0005; Ward's triangle r = −0.1, p <0.005; and lumbar spine r = −0.07, p < 0.05) with between 5% and 9% difference in mean BMD at various sites between men who had all their teeth and men who had no teeth. There was no significant association between self-reported tooth loss and BMD in women. Tooth loss is associated with lower BMD in men; this relationship is less consistent in women.

Reactivating Occupational Therapy: A Method to improve Cognitive Performance in Geriatric Patients
BACH, DORIS
BACH, MICHAEL
BÖHMER, FRANZ
FRÜHWALD, THOMAS
GRILC, BRIGITTE
Articles
In this prospective treatment study, the effects of two different occupational therapy strategies were compared in two samples of long-term geriatric inpatients (n = 22 in each group) with slight to moderate dementia according to DSM-III-R. Psychometric ratings after 12 weeks and 24 weeks of treatment have demonstrated that the application of a reactivating occupational therapy programme in addition to functional rehabilitation is significantly more efficient than the application of functional rehabilitation alone on levels of cognitive performance, psychosocial functioning, and the degree of contentedness with life. These results support the assumption that geriatric patients, if stimulated for a longer time, are able to mobilize latent resources of cognitive and psychosocial performance. Reactivating occupational therapy has a place in the treatment of long-term geriatric patients.

Returning Home after Acute Hospitalization in Two French Teaching Hospitals: Predictive Value of Patients' and Relatives' Wishes
ZUREIK, MAHMOUD
LANG, THIERRY
TROUILLET, JEAN-LOUIS
DAVIDO, ALAIN
TRAN, BEATRICE
LEVY, ALBERT
LOMBRAIL, PIERRE
Articles
Identifying elderly patients who are unable to return home immediately after acute hospitalization is difficult. For these patients, early planning of discharge might reduce the length of hospitalization. We conducted a cohort study to investigate the roles of patients' characteristics and patients' and principal carers' wishes about patients returning home in predicting the outcome of hospitalization for 510 patients aged 75 years or more admitted to acute medical care units via the emergency departments of two teaching hospitals in Paris (France). Patients' characteristics and patients' and principal carers' wishes were investigated within 24–48 hours of admission. The outcome of hospitalization was defined as discharge to home or residential/nursing home. The opposition of the principal carer to a patient returning home was the most powerful predictor of discharge to a residential/nursing home. Advanced age, living alone, disability in Activities of Daily Living, altered mental state and presence of a chronic condition fatal within 4 years were also independently associated with discharge to a residential/nursing home. The patient's wishes were predictive in univariate but not in multivariate analysis. These results suggest that the principal carer's wishes about a patient returning home might be taken into consideration early in a hospital stay for more effective discharge planning.

The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of increased thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels (subclinical or undiagnosed hypothyroidism) in a representative sample of a community-living elderly population and to examine the relationships with cognitive functions and depressive symptoms. An epidemiological study was made of a cohort of 2792 subjects over 65 years of age. A blood sample was obtained from 425 volunteers of this cohort and assayed for TSH. Every subject participating in the study was interviewed and given a battery of neuropsychological tests by a psychologist. Three hundred and eighty-one subjects (89.7%) had normal TSH levels; 18 subjects (4.2%) had TSH lower than 0.4μU/ml, associated in two of them with hyperthyroxinaemia. Twenty-six subjects (6.1%) had increased TSH levels, associated in 18 of them with a normal free thyroxine level and in eight with a low free thyroxine level. Increased TSH levels were significantly linked with female sex and with the presence of symptoms of depression on the CES-D scale but not with impairment of cognitive function.

Variability in scoring the Hachinski Ischaemic Score
O'NEILL, DESMOND
GERRARD, JAMES
SURMON, DENISE
WILCOCK, G. K.
Articles
Multi-infarct dementia (MID) may be the second most common form of dementia in later life. A commonly used aid in the clinical diagnosis of MID is the Hachinski Ischaemic Score (HIS). The usefulness of this score is controversial, and we hypothesized that this is because many items of the HIS are open to a wide range of interpretations. We therefore canvassed 45 research and academic centres in the United Kingdom and Ireland with an interest in dementia to assess the variability of interpretation of the HIS. Five template cases were constructed, in which were embedded items which were felt to be potentially contentious. Fifty-five out of 94 (59%) respondents replied. There was a very wide variation in the scores assigned to each vignette. In only five of 65 items was there complete agreement among replies: in general there was a very large range for each item. Thirty of the items showed less than 90% agreement. The apparent simplicity of the HIS conceals possibilities for ambiguous interpretation of individual items. This is a property common to many ‘simple’ rating scales. It should not lead to outright rejection of these scales, but rather to a refinement and clarification of the scoring and assessment techniques.

Function of the Oxidative Metabolism of Phagocytes in Elderly People: Relationship to Nutritional and Inflammatory Status
DIDIER, J. M.
DE WAZIERES, B.
BECKER-SCHNEIDER, M.
SEILLES, E.
DUPOND, J. L.
VUITTON, D. A.
Articles
The purpose of this study was to investigate the phagocyte production of oxygen-free radicals (OFR) in the whole blood of elderly patients (EP), by measuring chemiluminescence at the basal state and after stimulation, and to study the relationships between its impairment, if any, and blood indices of the nutritional and inflammatory status in elderly patients with (Inf) and without (N-Inf) inflammatory diseases. The results showed that OFR production by resting circulating phagocytes, assessed by chemiluminescence on whole blood, is markedly increased in EP, irrespective of any <it>in vitro</it> stimulation. The significant correlation we found between basal chemiluminescence and immunoglobulins levels, IgM, IgG and IgA in the whole EP sample, and IgG in the N-Inf group, suggests that it could be linked to the cytokine imbalance that favours Th2- and impairs Thl-type of cytokine production by T-cells in EP. The basal overproduction of OFR was observed both in Inf and N-Inf EP and unexpectedly was less marked in group Inf EP. This observation suggests a relative impairment in EP phagocytic adaptive responses to inflammatory conditions. This suggestion was confirmed by the absence of significant differences between the chemiluminescence index CLI calculated after phorbol myrisate acetate (PMA) stimulation in group Inf vs. N-Inf EP, and by the lower CLI observed in group Inf phagocytes stimulated by opsonized zymosan. The role of blood changes associated with inflammation and/or nutrition in this relative impairment is supported by the positive correlations that we observed between CLI and acute-phase proteins. The overproduction of OFR could be partially responsible for the tissue damage, lymphocyte function impairment and the increased lethality of infectious diseases characteristic of elderly patients. Inflammatory disorders seem to be linked to a relative impairment of the phagocyte adaptive response.

Arterial Oxygen Saturation during Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy in Elderly Patients: the Role of Endoscope Diameter
COOPER, M. W.
DAVISON, C. M.
AUSTIN, C. A.
Articles
The effect of endoscope diameter upon arterial oxygen saturation was investigated in 52 elderly patients by comparing two groups of 26 patients examined with different diameter endoscopes (PQ20 and Q10). In the group of 26 patients examined with the larger endoscope (Q10), the baseline oxygen saturation values and those during intubation were significantly higher than in the group examined with the smaller instrument (PQ20). There was no significant difference in oxygen saturation between the two groups after sedation or during the procedure as a whole. Our findings suggest that the examination of elderly patients using a standard diameter endoscope does not pose any greater risk.

The Timed Test of Money Counting: A Short Physical Performance Test for Manual Dexterity and Cognitive Capacity
NIKOLAUS, THORSTEN
BACH, MATTHIAS

Innovations
The competent handling of money is an essential basis for living independently. Seventy-eight consecutively admitted patients to a geriatric hospital underwent the Timed Test of Money Counting (TTMC) which measures patients' ability to open a purse, take out all the money and count it. Further assessment included Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Barthel Index of ADL, Self-maintaining and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL), grip strength and Williams' Board Test. The TTMC was reliable (inter-rater and intra-rater) and showed construct and concurrent validity with other measures of physical function. Unlike many other physical performance tests the TTMC is quickly performed and requires no special equipment or training.
