Abstract

Objective: Feeding disability is a known problem in old people, particularly in those with dementia. This study was aimed to acquire information about feeding problems and factors associated with them in old psychiatric patients. Methods: This study was part of the Gerontopsychiatry study Berlin (Gepsy-B), an investigation of the data of all older inpatients (≥ 65 years) admitted to a psychiatric hospital within 3 years. Results: Of 1266 admissions 284 cases (22.4 %) were identified as having disability of feeding or drinking. Persons living in institutionalized care were frequently referred because of feeding problems. The patients with disability to feed oneself were older than the rest of 80.7 ± 8.2 vs. 77.2 ± 7.7 years, U-test, z = - 6.33; p < 0.001). 84.5 % showed cognitive disorders (dementia or/and delirium), 22.4 % mood disorders and 8.5 % delusions or schizophrenia. 50 % needed parenteral nutrition temporarily. The outcome of patients with feeding problems was worse. Conclusions: Old psychiatric patients with disability of feeding oneself mostly suffered from cognitive disorders.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 21 November 2013.
All research outputs
#20,210,424
of 22,731,677 outputs
Outputs from Psychiatrische Praxis
#189
of 230 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#262,823
of 302,097 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Psychiatrische Praxis
#4
of 4 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,731,677 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 230 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.0. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 302,097 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 4 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
