@GeriatricsJC 2/2. The strong emphasis on structure and design of the study didn’t allow for importance of the individual. Only one statistic was reported this way. Interaction with other variables related to the patient may have hidden significant results. #GeriJC

@GeriatricsJC 1/2. Their randomized 2 blind placebo design and in/exclusion criteria lead do a tight study that controlled well for application error. They emphasized structural covariates such as base scores and location. #GeriJC

The Mediterranean Diet may protect against depressive symptoms in older age. doi:10.1007/s12603-018-1019-3

#GeriJC Post-test Q1/4. Older adults with subthreshold depressive symptoms are a high-risk group for the development of a major depressive episode and an appropriate target for indicated preventive interventions

[Geriatric Medicine_Palliative Care Journal Club @GeriatricsJC]

#GeriJC Post-test Q2/4. Behavioral activation is a simple and effective intervention for managing and preventing depression in later life and can be used in different settings, and does not require extensive training

[Geriatric Medicine_Palliative Care Journal Club @GeriatricsJC]

#GeriJC Post-test Q3/4. The Whooley questions are used to screen for major depressive disorder. No response to both questions is with high sensitivity to rule out depression.

[Geriatric Medicine_Palliative Care Journal Club @GeriatricsJC]

#GeriJC Post-test Q4/4. The PHQ-2 is more sensitive, easier to administer and simpler to score than the Whooley questions for depression screening.

#GeriJC Post-test Q2/3. A medication which has shown some benefit in the treatment of apathy in Alzheimer disease is:

#GeriJC Post-test Q1/3. Apathy is a common symptom of Alzheimer disease which results in excess caregiver burden.

[Geriatric Medicine_Palliative Care Journal Club @GeriatricsJC]

#GeriJC Post-test Q3/3. In the ADMET2 trial, what scale was used to measure change in apathy symptoms over time?

[UND-Geriatric Medicine Fellowship @UNDGeriatrics]

@GeriatricsJC #GeriJC The K-M curve was a good way to handle a large number of 0 scores. But to get a hazard ratio they needed to do a PH model, which was not stated. And in figure 2 they show monthly measurements, while in figure 3 it is daily. No clarification for this in the methods.

[UND-Geriatric Medicine Fellowship @UNDGeriatrics]

@GeriatricsJC #GeriJC ....Proportional odds logistic regression (ordinal log reg) will determine if the odds change over time.

[UND-Geriatric Medicine Fellowship @UNDGeriatrics]

@GeriatricsJC #GeriJC T2. The power analysis for both statistics was well done. The mixed effects model tests change in means over time, but controls for other variables and doesn’t require complete data and exact times.....

Hope you're all ready to discuss the ADMET 2 Randomized Clinical Trial next week. Pre-test polls for this session coming up ! #GeriJC
