Mariona Espaulella Ferrer, new doctor at UVic-UCC
On February 12, 2024, Mariona Espaulella Ferrer, a specialist in geriatrics and the current coordinator of medic services at Hospital de Campdevànol (Girona), successfully defended her doctoral thesis titled “Relationship between frailty and aging with health outcomes.” The research findings affirm that assessing the degree of frailty allows for the comprehensive characterization of older adults’ overall health status and enables personalized interventions. In this thesis project, this approach has been tested in the context of complex wound healing, medication review, and provision of service to the elderly. The thesis received the distinction of “Excellent cum laude” and was [...]
Medication Assessment in an Older Population during Acute Care Hospitalization and Its Effect on the Anticholinergic Burden: A Prospective Cohort Study
Medication Assessment in an Older Population during Acute Care Hospitalization and Its Effect on the Anticholinergic Burden: A Prospective Cohort Study Authors: Mariona Espaulella-Ferrer, Nuria Molist-Brunet, Joan Espaulella-Panicot, Daniel Sevilla-Sánchez, Emma Puigoriol-Juvanteny and Marta Otero-Viñas Abstract: (1) Background: Anticholinergic and sedative drugs (ASDs) contribute to negative health outcomes, especially in the frail population. In this study, we aimed to assess whether frailty increases with anticholinergic burden and to evaluate the effects of medication reviews (MRs) on ASD regimens among patients attending an acute care for the elderly (ACE) unit. (2) Methods: A cohort study was conducted between June [...]
