MyBlueDots2 months ago01 mins

Use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) continues to rise, but this advanced form of life support is often not provided to patients equitably. Now, new research published at the ATS 2025 International Conference has confirmed that disadvantaged patients are less likely to receive ECMO, even though they live closer to hospitals that offer it.

Classifying older adults requiring long-term care into five groups and clarifying their prognosis

MyBlueDots2 months ago01 mins

Older adults requiring long-term care frequently experience multiple disabilities, with considerable variation in the combinations of these impairments. Because of this diversity, interventions that focus on a single impairment may not be sufficient. Therefore, understanding the complex physical and cognitive conditions of older adults in need of care is essential for developing appropriate interventions.
