Intubated critically ill patients are susceptible to secretion accumulation because of compromised airway clearance. Various airway clearance interventions are employed to prevent complications arising from mucus retention. This Delphi study aims to collect global opinions in an international expert …

OBJECTIVES:  To counteract sarcopenia in non-Western migrant older adults, lifestyle interventions with increased physical activity and adequate dietary protein intake are promising. However, regular community-based lifestyle interventions often lack a culture-sensitive approach. The aim of this study …

Background: Multidisciplinary transitional care interventions promote care coordination after hospital discharge and address (older) patients' complex care needs related to their physical, nutritional, and/or psychosocial status.  Objective: This review aimed to identify, critically appraise, and synthesize …
