Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Geriatric syndromes such as falls, confusion, iatrogenesis and the exacerbation of frequent comorbidities such as heart failure and diabetes are priorities for all health professionals, with a significant impact both for the elderly and their caregivers and for professionals along the entire health journey, going from the general practitioner's office to the nursing home via the emergency department and the hospital unit. Their appearance or decompensation negatively impacts the quality of life and balance of elderly people and generates increasingly significant costs. Their detection at an early stage is therefore a priority.
Telemedicine and remote medical monitoring focused on the elderly are tools that are still poorly developed in the elderly, but some work is beginning to emphasize the early detection of exacerbation of geriatric syndromes. Likewise, the prevention of geriatric syndromes also involves the detection of frailty syndromes, on an outpatient basis or in a hospital setting.
This Special Issue aims to share all the work that you have undertaken on the role and challenges of screening for geriatric syndromes, including preliminary studies and conceptual work or even work in progress that deserves our full attention.
