Abstract:
SUMMARYThe optimal treatment of esophageal cancer in octogenarians is controversial. While the safety of esophagectomy has been demonstrated in elderly patients, surgery and multimodality therapy are still offered to a select group. Additionally, the long-term outcomes in octogenarians have not been thoroughly compared to those in younger patients. We sought to compare the outcomes of esophageal cancer treatment between octogenarians and non-octogenarians in the National Cancer Database (2004–2014). The major endpoints were early postoperative mortality and long-term survival. A total of 107,921 patients were identified [octogenarian—16,388 (15.2%)]. Compared to non-octogenarians, octogenarians were more likely to be female, of higher socioeconomic status, and had more Charlson comorbidities (p < 0.001 for all). Octogenarians were significantly less likely to undergo esophagectomy (11.5% vs. 33.3%; p < 0.001) and multimodality therapy (2.0% vs. 18.5%; p < 0.001), a trend that persisted following stratification by tumor stage and Charlson comorbidities. Both 30-day and 90-day mortality were higher in the octogenarian group, even after multivariable adjustment (p ≤ 0.001 for both). Octogenarians who underwent multimodality therapy had worse long-term survival when compared to younger patients, except for those with stage III tumors and no comorbidities (HR: 1.29; p = 0.153). Within the octogenarian group, postoperative mortality was lower in academic centers, and the long-term survival was similar between multimodality treatment and surgery alone (HR: 0.96; p = 0.62). In conclusion, octogenarians are less likely to be offered treatment irrespective of tumor stage or comorbidities. Although octogenarians have higher early mortality and poorer overall survival compared to younger patients, outcomes may be improved when treatment is performed at academic centers. Multimodality treatment did not seem to confer a survival advantage compared to surgery alone in octogenarians, and more prospective studies are necessary to better elucidate the optimal treatment in this patient population.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the complication rate of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in octogenarian patients and identify predictive factors. Methods: The study comprised 70 octogenarians and 70 non-octogenarian patients as control group, all submitted to TKA. We analyzed the medical records of these patients, seeking for complications during the first postoperative year. Regarding the risk factors, we evaluated: age, sex, race, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, body mass index, smoking, hypertension and diabetes mellitus. Results: In the control group, the incidence of complications was 7.1%. Whereas in the octogenarian group it was significantly higher, reaching 34.3% (OR 6.8; 95% CI 2.4-19.1). We found no association to sex, skin color, and comorbidities. Age is an independent risk factor for postoperative complications. Our data may help patients to acknowledge the risks of undergoing primary TKA and physicians to assess and adjust perioperative risk. Conclusion: The incidence of postoperative complications is significantly higher in octogenarians. Level of Evidence III, Case-control study.

Abstract:
Operative survival is as high as 96% for elective abdominal aortic aneursym (AAA) repair but as low as 10% for emergency repair. Our primary aim was to compare elective AAA repair in octogenarians with nonoperative management. Our secondary aim was to compare octogenarians with their younger counterparts. From 1998 to 2003, 180 patients with AAA were treated operatively or nonoperatively. Factors determining treatment included American Society of Anesthesiologists grade ≥ 4, inoperable malignancy, New York Heart Association class III, forced expiratory volume in 1 second < 35%, creatinine > 6.0 mg/dL, and patient and family choice. A parallel-group observational study was performed to assess age and treatment effects on outcome. Seventy (39%) patients were repaired electively, 68 (38%) were managed nonoperatively, and 42 (23%) underwent emergency repair. Fifty-nine (33%) were octogenarians. The octogenarian 5-year survival rate was 20% following emergency repair, 42% if treated nonoperatively, and 83% following elective repair. Younger cohort rates were 55% (emergency), 44% (nonoperative), and 76% (elective). The octogenarian mean expansion rate was 0.26 cm/yr in those treated nonoperatively and 1.04 cm/yr in confirmed rupture. Rupture rate was related to expansion rate (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.06–0.59, r = .35, p = .01). The rates in the younger subgroup were 0.32 cm/yr and 1.14 cm/yr (95% CI −0.021–0.672}, r = .37, p = .03). The octogenarian survival rate was highest following elective repair. Rupture was closely correlated with aneurysm expansion. Screening should reduce the incidence of octogenarian rupture of AAA and identify those patients most suitable for nonoperative management.

Abstract:
Treatment of heart failure (HF) in the elderly face many difficulties due to lack of robust evidence. We analyzed the outcome of HF in octogenarians using a nationwide HF registry. Among 5625 patients from the Korean Acute Heart Failure (KorAHF) registry, prognosis of octogenarian HF and the association of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) with mortality and readmissions were analyzed. Octogenarian patients (1185, 22.4%) showed a higher mortality, and males were especially at increased risk (HR (hazard ratio) 1.19, 95% CI 1.01–1.40). A J-curve association between blood pressure (BP) and mortality was observed regardless of age, but the nadir value was lower in octogenarians (123.8 vs. 127.9 mmHg for systolic blood pressure (SBP); 67.1 vs. 73.9 mmHg for diastolic blood pressure (DBP), p < 0.001). Use of GDMT in octogenarian patients with HF and reduced ejection fraction (EF) were inadequate (74.3%, 47.1%, and 46.1% in octogenarians vs. 78.4%, 59.8%, and 55.2% in non-elderly for renin-angiotensin system inhibitors, beta-blockers, and aldosterone antagonists, respectively; all p < 0.05). However, those on medications had a significant reduction in 6 month mortality. For octogenarians with HF and preserved EF, angiotensin receptor blocker use reduced hospitalizations for HF in men (HR 0.19, 95% CI 0.04–0.87), but not in women (p-interaction = 0.037). HF in octogenarians were found to have different characteristics compared with the non-elderly. However, adequate use of GDMT was still associated with improved survival, and more attention should be given to prescribing medications with clinical benefits.

Abstract:
Introduction Guidelines have been recommending the use of arteriovenous fistula among the hemodialysis population, but no clear conclusion has emerged with regard to the adequate access type in octogenarians. In this paper, the outcomes of arteriovenous fistula in octogenarian cohort were presented for death-censored cumulative patency rate, complications, and patients’ survival rate. Methods A retrospective review of 88 consecutive arteriovenous fistula interventions in 70 octogenarian patients were performed at one referral institution between January 2010 and June 2014. The patients’ records were analyzed and postoperative complications were documented. Death-censored cumulative arteriovenous fistula patency rates were calculated, and Kaplan–Meier method was used to analyze patient survival for 24 months. Findings: Eighty-eight arteriovenous fistula constructions and six salvage procedures were performed in 70 octogenarians. Fifty-four (61.3%) forearm and 34 (38.7%) upper arm fistulas were created. All types of fistulas had 6-, 12-, 18-, and 24-month death-censored cumulative patency rates of 63.6%, 58.3%, 48.8%, and 41.4%, respectively. The primary failure rate was 40.9%. A total of 15 complications were documented as edema, hematoma/bleeding, infection, distal ischemia, and venous aneurysm, all of which had been treated. Patient survival rates for 12 and 24 months were 68.5% and 58.5%, respectively. Discussion and conclusion: This analysis regarding arteriovenous fistula in octogenarian end-stage renal disease patients figured out equal death-censored cumulative patency compared to nonelderly, and two-year survival rate was acceptable. This study strengthens the argument that arteriovenous fistula should be the best proper choice in selected octogenarians; older age only should not be considered as an absolute contraindication for arteriovenous fistula creation in octogenarians; and patient-based approach should be applied.

Abstract:
Background: Little is known regarding primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in the elderly. Methods: Data on 319 octogenarians, 641 septuagenarians, and 2451 younger patients was collected from an ongoing prospective registry of patients treated with pPCI for STEMI at two Mediterranean-area medical centers in 2009–2017. Results: More octogenarian patients were female (40.8 vs. 31.9 septuagenarians and 26.5% under 70 y, p < 0.01), had hypertension (79.5 vs. 69.5 and 45.9%, p < 0.01), renal failure (32.5 vs. 20.1 and 5.2%, p < 0.01), and a lower left-ventricular ejection fraction (42.0 vs. 44.9 and 47.6%, p = 0.012). At 1 month and 3 years after intervention, mortality was higher in the octogenarian patients (12.2 vs. 7.9%, p = 0.01; and 36.7 vs. 23.1%, p < 0.01, respectively), with no significant differences in the rates of recurrent myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization, coronary artery bypass surgery, and cardiovascular death. Following adjustment for confounders, 3-year mortality was significantly higher in the octogenarians (HR 3.89 vs. 3.19 for septuagenarians, p < 0.01), but rates of major adverse cardiac events or cardiovascular death were not. Conclusions: Despite suffering from higher all-cause mortality, octogenarian patients treated with pPCI for STEMI do not suffer an increased risk of ischemic cardiac events relative to younger patients.

Abstract:
Objectives: Catheter ablation for rhythm control has emerged as a successful therapeutic option for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF), though it has not been well studied in octogenarians. This study evaluates its safety in octogenarians in a community hospital and reviews the benefits of rhythm control. Methods: Among 1,592 patients undergoing AF ablation, 84 octogenarian were identified. The primary outcome was normal sinus rhythm (NSR) on electrocardiogram at discharge. Secondary outcomes were periprocedural complications and markers and risks of reablation compared to younger cohorts. Results: An NSR on discharge occurred in 83 patients. Three patients required pacing for symptomatic sinus bradycardia, complete heart block, and symptomatic junctional bradycardia, respectively. Reablation for recurrent AF occurred in 23 octogenarians. Using the octogenarians as reference, the relative risk (RR) of 1 reablation was not significantly different among the age groups 70-79, 60-69, and <60 years. The RR of 2 reablations was greater in the octogenarian group (RR 0.26 [95% CI 0.09-0.71, p = 0.008], 0.42 [95% CI 0.17-1.04, p = 0.06], and 0.27 [95% CI 0.1-0.75, p = 0.01], respectively). Coronary artery disease (OR 0.14, 95% CI 0.02-0.68, p = 0.026) and percutaneous coronary intervention (OR 0.13, 95% CI 0.02-0.63, p = 0.021) were markers for reablation. Conclusion: AF catheter ablation achieved an NSR with minimal periprocedural complications. The benefits of rhythm control should be considered in treatment.

Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: The study goal was to document the reliability, incidence of complications, and cost of therapy for patients older than 80 years who undergo microvascular head and neck reconstruction. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Thirteen octogenarians underwent free flap reconstruction of defects resulting from the treatment of head and neck cancer at an academic tertiary care medical center. The incidence of medical and reconstructive complications and the cost of hospitalization were compared with those for 99 younger patients who were treated during the same time period. RESULTS: There were no cases of free flap failure or significant reconstructive complications in the octogenarians. The incidence of medical complications was 62% in the octogenarians and 15% in the younger patients. The average cost of therapy was $54,702 per octogenarian patient compared with $30,397 per younger patient. The increased incidence of medical complications and increased cost arose primarily from an increased severity of preoperative systemic illness in the octogenarians. However, controlling for comorbidity did not eliminate the discrepancy in medical complications between the octogenarians and the younger patients. CONCLUSIONS: Although microvascular head and neck reconstruction in the elderly is very reliable, the incidence of medical complications and the cost of therapy are significantly increased in octogenarians.

Abstract:
650 Background: Radiation in patients with rectal cancer is an important adjuvant therapy. It can be given either pre-operative or post-operative phase or both. However the optimum timing of the radiation in terms of pre-operative or post-op phase remains a question of debate in octogenarian patients as there is lack of enough evidence. Methods: In this study we aim to find the optimum time of radiation therapy in octogenarians with rectal cancer undergoing surgical resection. Octogenarians with rectal cancer were selected from surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database collected between 1998 and 2009. The data set contained 4,026 patients with rectal cancer who underwent surgical resection and radiation therapy. They were divided into 3 groups. 1,586 (39%) patients had radiation before the surgery. 66 (2%) patients had radiation before and after the surgery, also called the combination group. 2,347(59%) patients had radiation after the surgery. Taking in the consideration of unequal sample sizes, Tukey-Kramer multiple comparison tests was used to compare the mean survival of the patients in each group. Results: The mean survival in pre-operative radiation group was 37.7 months, in combination group was 48.41 months and post-operative radiation group was 44.3 months. There was no statistically significant difference in survival time between the combination group and the radiation after surgery group (p-value=0.64). There was marginal statistical significance in survival time between the combination group and the before surgery group (p-value=.05). There was a statistically significant difference in survival time between the radiation after surgery group and the radiation before surgery group (p-value<0.0001). Conclusions: Octogenarian patients with rectal cancer undergoing adjuvant radiation therapy, with or without neoadjuvant radiation, have greater survival than compared to neoadjuvant only radiation. There appears to be survival advantage of postoperative radiation therapy in octogenarian patients with rectal cancer.

Abstract:
Background: Based on survey data from both Canada and abroad, most people would prefer to be cared for and to die in their own homes. Although 70% of elderly patients state a preference for comfort care over high technology life prolonging treatment in an inpatient setting, 54% are still admitted to intensive care units (ICUs). Understanding their wishes regarding end-of-life care, and being able to engage in evidence informed end-of-life discussions has never been so important, in order to empower patients, and to optimize scarce resource management. For the purpose of this thesis, “very old” patients will be defined as those eighty years of age and older. All three manuscripts will be based on data from the Realistic 80 study, a prospective cohort trial of 1671 critically ill very old patients admitted to 22 Canadian ICUs. Objectives: Manuscript 1: To describe the hospital outcomes of the entire cohort of Realistic 80 patients, including their ICU mortality and length of stay, their hospital mortality and length of stay, and their ultimate dispositions. Manuscript 2: To derive a clinical prediction rule for hospital mortality in the medical patient cohort. Manuscript 3: To derive a clinical prediction rule for hospital mortality in the emergency surgical patient cohort. Data Source: A prospective, multicenter cohort study of very elderly medical and surgical patients admitted to 22 Canadian academic and non-academic ICUs. Methods: Clinical decision rule methodology was used to analyze the data set and to create two separate clinical prediction tools, one for critically ill elderly medical patients, and one for critically ill surgical emergency patients. A third manuscript describing general clinical outcomes was also produced. Results of Manuscript 1: A total of 1671 patients were included in this section of the “Realities, Expectations and Attitudes to Life Support Technologies in Intensive Care for Octogenarians: The Realistic 80 Study (a prospective cohort of nearly 2000 critically ill Canadian patients over eighty years old enrolled from 22 ICUs across Canada) that will provide the data for this thesis. The Realistic 80 cohort had a mean age of 84.5, a baseline Apache II score of 22.4, a baseline SOFA score of 5.3, an overall ICU mortality of 21.8%, and an overall hospital mortality of 35%. The cohort had a median ICU length of stay of 3.7 days, and an overall median hospital length of stay of 16.6 days. Only 46.4% of the survivors were able to return home to live. Results of Manuscript 2: Age, renal function, level of consciousness, and serum pH were the important predictors of hospital mortality in critically ill elderly medical patients. Our clinical prediction tool is very good, particularly at the all-important extremes of prognosis, and ready for external validation. Results of Manuscript 3: Renal function and serum pH were the important predictors of hospital mortality in critically ill elderly surgical patients. Our model’s performance is very good, and will serve to inform clinical practice once validated. Conclusions: Very old medical patients have longer ICU stays and higher mortality than their surgical counterparts. Premorbid health status and severity of illness are associated with mortality. Our medical patient clinical prediction tool is very good and ready for external validation. Our surgical emergency clinical prediction tool shows promise, but will require the incorporation of more patients and a repeat derivation phase prior to external validation or clinical implementation.

Abstract:
El concepte de “cirurgia cardíaca Ultra Fast-Track” inclou l’extubació precoç al mateix quiròfan i nous models de recuperació postoperatòria. La nostra hipòtesi és que el protocol UFT és tan viable, eficaç i segur en pacients joves com en octogenaris. Metodologia Es tracta d’un estudi descriptiu i prospectiu realitzat en cirurgies de substitució valvular aòrtica a l’Hospital Universitari Germans Trias i Pujol de Badalona. Els fàrmacs utilitzats a la inducció eren Midazolam 0,01mg/Kg iv, Fentanil 4-6 μg/Kg iv, Sevoflurane 2-4% i Rocuroni 0,6-1 mg/kg iv. El manteniment es realitzava amb Sevoflurane 1-2% i Remifentanil 0,05-0,5 μg/Kg/min. Com analgèsia postoperatòria s’utilitzava: morfina 0,1 mg/Kg, metamizol 2g, dexketoprofè 50 mg iv i una bomba elastomèrica d’anestèsic local a través d’un catèter multiperforat supraesternal. Els criteris d’extubació eren: estabilitat hemodinàmica i respiratòria, sagnat i anèmia descartats, temperatura nasofaríngia mantinguda i estat de consciència comprovat. Resultats i Discussió Un total de 131 pacients menors de 80 anys i 29 majors o iguals de 80 anys van participar a l’estudi (la mitjana d’edat d’aquest treball és superior a la majoria d’estudis publicats sobre FT i UFT). No trobem diferències estadísticament significatives entre els dos grups en el percentatge de pacients extubats (75%), en els minuts entre l’últim punt de la cirurgia i l’extubació (14 minuts), en les causes del fracàs d’aquesta extubació inicial ni en la necessitat d’una reintubació. Un cop a la Unitat de Vigilància Intensiva tampoc vam trobar diferències significatives en el temps a ser extubats aquells que havien sortit intubats del quiròfan ni en la necessitat d’una reintubació o d’un reingrés a UCI. Entre els conceptes principals dels protocols FT tampoc vam obtenir diferències significatives (insuficiència respiratòria, control del dolor, sagnat i començament d’ingesta/fisioteràpia respiratòria/deambulació). La mitjana d’hores d’ingrés a UCI (77,53 respecte 78,14 dels octogenaris) i l’estada total hospitalària (7,42 respecte 8,14 dels més ancians) no van resultar estadísticament diferents entre les dues poblacions però la majoria d’articles FT i UFT publicats prèviament mostren ingressos menors. La mortalitat hospitalària va ser 3,1 i 3,4% respectivament. Dues complicacions postoperatòries, la transfusió de concentrats d’hematies i el vessament pleural diagnosticat per radiografia, van resultar ser els dos únics conceptes estadísticament diferents entre els dos grups. Les limitacions del nostre estudi són: haver tingut lloc en un únic centre hospitalari, el nombre relativament petit d’octogenaris i l’absència d’una “n” mostral calculada prèviament al començament de la investigació. Conclusió: El protocol Ultra Fast-Track aplicat a cirurgia cardíaca és tan viable, eficaç i segur en pacients joves com en octogenaris.<br>The concept “Ultra Fast-track cardiac surgery” (UFT) means extubation in the operating room (OR) and new approaches in postoperative recovery. Our hypothesis assumes that the UFT protocol is as viable, effective and safe in not octogenarian patients as in octogenarians. Method It is a descriptive, prospective study of consecutive patients scheduled for aortic valve replacement surgeries at University Hospital Germans Trias i Pujol in Badalona. Patients were allocated into different groups depending on their age (octogenarian or not). Induction drugs administered were: midazolam 0.01mg/Kg iv, fentanil 4-6 µg/Kg iv, sevoflurane 2-4% and rocuronium 0.6-1 mg/kg iv; anaesthetic maintenance was done with sevoflurane 1-2% and remifentanil 0.05-0.5 µg/Kg/min. As postoperative analgesia was given: morphine 0.1 mg/Kg, metamizol 2g, dexketoprofen 50 mg IV and one suprasternal multiperforated catheter was inserted by the surgeon for local anaesthetic administration through an elastomeric bomb. Extubation criteria were: respiratory and haemodynamic stability, normothermia, consciousness and neither bleeding nor anaemia. Results and Discussion A total of 131 patients younger than 80 years and 29 patients equal to or older than 80 years were included in this study (main age higher than other UFT published trials). No statistically significant differences were observed among groups in terms of demographics, percentages of extubated patients (75%), time between end of surgery and extubation (14 minutes), causes for failed primary extubation and reintubation requirements. Once at the ICU, no significant differences were found regarding time for extubation, reintubation rates and ICU readmission. Crucial FT concepts like respiratory insufficiency, pain control, bleeding, begin of feeding, respiratory physiotherapy and walking were very similar among groups. Mean ICU stay in hours (77.53 vs 78.14 in octogenarians) and global hospital stay in days (7.42 vs 8.14 in oldies) were not statistically different but most of the UFT published studies showed lower values. Hospital mortality was 3.1 and 3.4% respectively. Postoperatively, only red blood cells transfusion rates and pleural effusions on chest X-ray were statistically different among groups. Limitations of our study include the fact that it is a single-centre study; there is a relative small study population over 80 years and finally, the lack of a sample size calculation at the beginning of study. Conclusion Our UFT protocol in cardiac surgery is as viable, effective and safe in young patients as in octogenarians.

The scientists do everything they can to get to know these the owners of these brains -- their abilities, their genes, and the stories of their lives -- then, when they die, dissect the brains themselves. Will the craniums of these successful "SuperAgers" give science some leverage in the battle against dementia, or even against aging itself?<br>by Bennett Allan McIntosh.<br>S.M. in Science Writing

Abstract:
Background: Adiponectin circulates in the blood in three different multimer isoforms, of which the high molecular weight form (HMW) is presumed to mediate insulin sensitivity. We examined whether adiponectin oligomer distribution is associated with aging and type 2 diabetes (T2D) in octogenarians without characteristic features of metabolic syndrome. Methods: The study included 154 octogenarians (58 men, 96 women), 24 normoglycemic middle-aged controls (11 men, 13 women; mean age 44 years), and 33 middle-aged individuals (14 men, 19 women; mean age 55 years) with T2D. Based on oral glucose tolerance test 62 octogenarians had normal, 63 impaired glucose tolerance, and 29 octogenarians had newly detected T2D. Serum adiponectin multimer isoforms were measured after overnight fast by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Results:Compared to the normoglycemic middle-aged control group, male normoglycemic octogenarians revealed significantly higher total adiponectin and all adiponectin isoforms. The same was true for females with the exception of low molecular weight (LMW) adiponectin, which was not statistically higher in octogenarians. Male and female octogenarians with T2D had significantly higher levels of total, HMW, and middle molecular weight (MMW) adiponectin, but not LMW adiponectin, than middle-aged individuals with T2D. Female, but not male, octogenarians revealed significantly lower total adiponectin than normoglycemic octogenarians. Compared with normoglycemic octogenarians, male and female octogenarians with T2D were characterized by significantly lower LMW adiponectin. In male and female octogenarians, total adiponectin and all multimer isoforms were directly correlated with HDL cholesterol. LMW adiponectin in octogenarians of both sexes was inversely correlated with glucose level at 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test. Conclusions: Serum levels of total adiponectin as well as its HMW and MMW isoforms were significantly higher in octogenarians with normoglycemia or T2D than in corresponding middle-aged control groups. In male and female octogenarians without metabolic syndrome, T2D was associated with lower LMW adiponectin, while the HMW and MMW isoforms were not statistically different<br>Dieser Beitrag ist mit Zustimmung des Rechteinhabers aufgrund einer (DFG-geförderten) Allianz- bzw.

Abstract:
O Brasil está entre os países em desenvolvimento onde a faixa etária acima dos 80 anos é a que mais cresce. Este grupo tem sido pouco estudado em nosso meio, sobretudo no que tange às diferenças inter-regionais relacionadas à saúde. Trata-se de estudo epidemiológico comparativo e transversal, de idosos >= 80 anos residentes em duas comunidades. A amostra probabilística constou de dois grupos de idosos mais velhos: um de Ribeirão Preto (RP-SP), com 155 sujeitos e outro de Caxias do Sul (CS-RS), com 117 sujeitos. A coleta de dados se deu através de uma Avaliação Geriátrica Global, com entrevistas domiciliares realizadas entre maio de 2007 e setembro de 2008. O instrumento de coleta foi composto por dados demográficos e socioeconômicos, medidas antropométricas, Miniexame do Estado Mental (MEEM), Atividades Instrumentais de Vida Diária (AIVD), Medida de Independência Funcional (MIF), presença de comorbidades, Escala de Depressão Geriátrica (EDG) e estilo de vida (uso de álcool, tabagismo, nível de atividade física e avaliação da dieta). A média de idade foi de 84,4 (± 4,3) anos em RP e 85,0 (± 3,9) anos em CS. Houve predominância do sexo feminino (~ 67%), cor branca (~ 89%) e viúvos (~56%) em ambos os municípios, sem que houvesse diferenças significativas nestas variáveis. Não houve diferença importante na escolaridade média dos dois grupos, e a renda média do idoso foi maior (P = 0,020) em RP (R$ 978,2 ± 1.329,6) do que em CS (R$ 668,3 ± 596,1). Entretanto, em RP houve maior concentração de indivíduos tanto analfabetos como com alta escolaridade; bem como daqueles que recebiam tanto menos de um salário mínimo (SM) como mais de 3 SM. Verificou-se ainda uma proporção maior de idosos que utilizavam convênio de saúde em CS (63%) do que em RP (49%). Não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa no escore médio do MEEM entre os dois grupos (20,6 ± 7,5 em RP e 19,5 ± 6,3 em CS; P = 0,23), sendo que este foi significativamente menor para indivíduos do sexo feminino, com idade mais avançada e analfabetos. Verificou-se uma proporção maior de idosos independentes para as AIVD em RP (22%) do que em CS (7%; P = 0,001), bem como um escore maior na MIF naquele grupo (108,2 ± 24,3) do que em CS (102,9 ± 19,9; P = 0,058). Um melhor nível de independência em ambos os municípios foi observado para os idosos do sexo masculino, aqueles casados, de maior escolaridade e melhor renda. Houve uma tendência a uma maior proporção de idosos com sobrepeso e obesos em CS (41,9% e 21,4%, respectivamente) do que em RP (32,7% e 15,3%, respectivamente; P = 0,08). Verificou-se também maior número de comorbidades em CS (7,6 ± 2,9) do que em RP (5,9 ± 2,9; P < 0,001). Entretanto, RP apresentou maior escore na EDG (4,1 ± 2,9), com maior proporção de sujeitos depressivos (39,3%) do que CS (3,1 ± 2,8 e 22,8%, respectivamente; P = 0,005). Os idosos com menos sintomas depressivos foram aqueles do sexo masculino, casados, ou com maior escolaridade em ambos os grupos. Em ambos os municípios, após ajustar-se para idade e gênero, observouse que o grau de independência funcional (MIF) correlacionou-se positivamente com o MEEM e negativamente com o número de comorbidades e o escore na EDG. Quanto ao estilo de vida, não houve diferença significativa entre os dois grupos no que tange ao gasto energético em atividade física e ao consumo de cigarros. No entanto, em CS houve uma proporção maior de idosos que utilizam ou utilizavam bebida alcoólica, especialmente vinho. Os idosos de CS também apresentaram maior consumo calórico diário, inclusive de carboidratos, gorduras saturadas e sódio do que em RP (P < 0,001 para todos). Quando comparado a RP, embora os idosos de CS apresentem menor desigualdade educacional e de renda, além de menores índices de depressão, a dieta destes é menos saudável, há maior prevalência de obesidade e outras comorbidades e maior dependência funcional. Um adequado planejamento em termos de políticas de saúde, que melhor atendesse aos prérequisitos do envelhecimento bem-sucedido, poderia contribuir ao bem-estar dos idosos brasileiros mais velhos.<br>Brazil is one of the developing countries where the age range over 80 years is the fastest growing population group. This group has been little studied in our context, mainly with respect to interregional health-related differences. This comparative and cross-sectional epidemiological research looked at elderly >= 80 years of age living in two communities. The probabilistic sample comprised two groups of elder elderly: one in Ribeirão Preto (RP-SP), with 155 subjects; and another in Caxias do Sul (CS-RS), including 117 subjects. Data were collected through a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment, involving home interviews carried out between May 2007 and September 2008. The data collection instrument consisted of demographic and socioeconomic data, anthropometric measures, the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL), Functional Independence Measure (FIM), presence of comorbidities, Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) and lifestyle (alcohol use, smoking, level of physical activity and diet assessment). The mean age was 84.4 (± 4,3) years in RP and 85,0 (± 3,9) years in CS. Female (~ 67%), white (~ 89%) and widowed (~56%) persons predominated in both cities, without any significant differences in these variables. No important difference was found between the two groups\' mean education level, and the elderly\'s mean income was higher (P = 0.020) in RP (R$ 978,2 ± 1,329,6) than in CS (R$ 668.3 ± 596,1). In RP, a greater concentration of both illiterate people and persons with a high education level was found; and of people receiving either less than one minimum wage (MW) or more than 3 MW. Also, the proportion of elderly people with health insurance found in CS (63%) was larger than in RP (49%). No statistically significant difference was found in the mean MMSE score between both groups (20.6 ± 7.5 in RP against 19.5 ± 6.3 in CS; P = 0.23), which was significantly lower for female, older and illiterate people. A larger proportion of independent elderly in terms of IADL was found in RP (22%) when compared with CS (7%; P = 0.001), and a higher score on the FIM in RP (108.2 ± 24.3) than in CS (102.9 ± 19.9; P = 0.058). In both cities, a higher level of independence was found for male, married elderly with higher education and income levels. A larger proportion of overweight and obese elderly was found in CS (41.9% and 21.4%, respectively) than in RP (32.7% and 15.3%, respectively; P = 0.08). Also, in CS, a larger quantity of comorbidities was found (7.6 ± 2.9) than in RP (5.9 ± 2.9; P < 0.001). However, RP displayed a higher score on the GDS (4.1 ± 2.9), with a larger proportion of depressive subjects (39.3%) than in CS (3.1 ± 2.8 and 22.8%, respectively; P = 0.005). In both groups, male, married elderly with higher education levels showed less depressive symptoms. In both cities, after adjusting for age and gender, a positive correlation was observed between the level of FIM and the MMSE, and a negative correlation with the number of comorbidities and the GDS score. As for lifestyle, no significant differences were found between both groups in terms of energy spent on physical activity and smoking. However, in CS, a larger proportion of elderly was found who were consuming or had consumed alcohol, especially wine. Elderly in CS also presented higher daily consumption levels of calories, carbohydrates, saturated fats and sodium than in RP (P < 0.001 for all). In comparison with RP, although elderly in CS demonstrated less inequality in terms of education and income and lower depression rates, their diet is less healthy and prevalence levels of obesity, other comorbidities and functional dependence are higher. Thus, efforts can me made to adequately plan health policies with a view to better complying with the prerequisites of successful aging and providing greater wellbeing to the Brazilian oldest-old.

Abstract:
Objetivos: Determinar si los pacientes octogenarios reciben con la misma frecuencia que los pacientes más jóvenes los tratamientos médicos y de reperfusión recomendados tras un infarto agudo de miocardio (IAM) durante su ingreso en las Unidades Coronarias.Métodos: Estudio observacional, longitudinal y prospectivo de los pacientes ingresados consecutivamente durante 10 años en dos Unidades Coronarias con un IAM. Se comparó la administración de los tratamientos médicos y la realización de los tratamientos de reperfusión recomendados en las guías de práctica clínica en los pacientes octogenarios frente al resto de pacientes más jóvenes mediante el análisis de regresión multivariante ajustado por los antecedentes personales, género y situación clínica al ingreso. Además, se comprobó la posible existencia de un efecto lineal de la edad en la administración de dichos tratamientos. Conclusiones: Los pacientes octogenarios con un IAM reciben con menos frecuencia los fármacos recomendados en las guías de práctica clínica que han demostrado una mejoría del pronóstico. Asimismo, a los octogenarios con infarto agudo de miocardio sin elevación del segmento ST se les realiza con menos frecuencia un intervencionismo coronario. En cambio, reciben con la misma frecuencia que los pacientes más jóvenes los tratamientos de reperfusión de fibrinólisis o intervencionismo coronario percutáneo primario.Aims: To determine whether patients aged 80 and over diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and admitted to coronary care units receive recommended medical and reperfusion treatments with the same frequency as younger patients.Methods: A longitudinal, observational, prospective cohort study of patients diagnosed with an AMI and consecutively admitted to two coronary care units over the course of 10 years. We analyzed the frequency with which guideline-recommended medical and reperfusion treatments were administered to patients aged 80 and over in comparison to how often such treatments were given to younger patients using a multivariate regression adjusted for personal medical history, gender, and clinical status at the time of admission. We also examined the possibility of a linear effect for age in the administration of guideline-recommended treatments.Conclusion: AMI patients aged 80 and over are less likely than younger patients to be given guideline-recommended drugs with proven prognostic benefits. Likewise, non-ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction patients aged 80 and over receive fewer coronary interventions than their younger counterparts. However, patients aged 80 and over receive reperfusion, fibrinolytic and primary percutaneous coronary intervention treatments at the same rate as younger patients.

Abstract:
Endovascular AAA repair has evolved since its inception in the late 1980s to become an accepted alternative to open surgery. This minimally invasive approach involves inserting a collapsed stent-graft through the vasculature to the AAA location and allowing it to expand to form a new conduit for blood flow [1]. EVAR carries lower operative risk than the traditional method and recovery times are significantly lower.
