While most identified HFRs recommended delirium and/or cognitive assessment, there was considerable variation in methods of assessment and documentation.
Greater standardisation in data items and their collection could improve international comparability and patient care.

No. This study does not show that drinking champagne could reduce your risk of cardiac arrest.
It shows that many things can predict your chances of cardiac arrest. Unsurprisingly, this includes the amount of champagne you drink, which is doubtless a marker of wealth.

For the first time in the UK, registered women doctors now outnumber men. But...there still remains an imbalance in senior clinical, leadership and academic positions. Great progress but work to be done! @medicalwomenuk.bsky.social @womenspeakershc.bsky.social
