Effects of Hospital-Based Physical Therapy on Hospital Discharge Outcomes among Hospitalized Older Adults with Community-Acquired Pneumonia and DecliningPhysical Function

Abstract: To examine whether hospital-based physical therapy is associated with functional changes and early hospital readmission among hospitalized older adults with community-acquired pneumonia and declining physical function. Study design was a retrospective observation study. Participants were community-dwelling older adults admitted to medicine floor for community-acquired pneumonia (n = 1,058). Their physical function using Katz activities of daily living (ADL) Index declined between hospital admission and 48 hour… Show more

“…Holistic care including attention to physical, functional, dietary and social needs of the patient is important for prevention of readmission. Intervention with early mobilization has been linked to lower readmission rates in elderly patients . Another key to reducing readmission rates is providing discharge education and discussing goals of care.…”

“…F I G U R E 1 TRM among young and elderly patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) F I G U R E 2 Overall survival of the elderly group undergoing allo-HSCT according to donor type: matched related donor (MRD); matched unrelated donor (MUD) or haploidentical The functional assessment of hospitalised elderly patients may provide a complementary tool to predict survival and life quality in this critical period. (DeFor, Burns, Gold,& Weisdorf, 2007;Hoogerduijn, Schuurmans, Duijnstee, Rooij, & Grypdonck, 2007;Kim et al, 2015;Muffly et al, 2014) Altogether, these features support the possibility that this mortality phenomenon occurs in a multifactorial complex context caused by age-related poor immune reconstitution, host immune dysfunction, chronic GVHD, longer exposure to immunosuppressive drugs and unrecovered loss of functions.
