Patient-Centered Care and Cognitive Dysfunction - Geriatrics

Cognitive dysfunction is one of the most common conditions to plague older persons.1 Approximately 20% of persons over 70 years of age have dementia and another 20% have mild cognitive impairment. Physicians are not very good at recognizing older persons with cognitive impairment. This results in the patients following medical instructions poorly (eg, taking medicines improperly, inability to use inhalers or to measure glucose levels accurately). In addition, cognitively impaired older persons tend to continue to drive when it is dangerous and often continue to manage their own financial affairs.

Screening for Cognitive Impairment in Geriatrics - Geriatrics

There are many instruments for screening cognitive impairment. The common tools for screening cognitive impairment are categorized into 4 groups (very brief, brief, self-administered, and test batteries) in geriatrics. There are some tests used for specific tests of 6 cognitive domains (learning and memory, language, executive function, complex attention, and social cognition) by following the DSM-V criteria. Different settings, stages, conditions, and specific people need some specific tools for screening cognitive impairment. It must be noted that there is some harm in screening for cognitive impairment in geriatrics.

Suicide in the Elderly - Geriatrics

Suicide in the elderly is a growing problem. The elderly population is increasing, and elderly patients have multiple issues that place them at higher risk of suicidality. These issues include physical illnesses, mental illness, loss of functional status, isolation, and family, financial, and social factors. Access to firearms is another significant risk factor, because elderly patients are more likely to use firearms in suicide attempts; interventions to reduce firearms mortality may save lives. Tackling the difficult problem of suicide in the elderly may require a multidisciplinary, community-based series of interventions.
