Physicians who sit at the bedside (compared to standing) are perceived to have spent longer with their patient and have higher patient satisfaction.

In 2021, #Ontario mandated air conditioning (A/C) in all nursing homes—increasing A/C coverage from 45% to 99% of homes. Our new @JAMAInternalMed study led by @GabrielleMKatz estimates that Ontario’s A/C mandate averted 33 resident deaths on extreme heat days from 2021 to 2023.

Ontario mandated air conditioning in nursing homes in 2020. Here’s how many lives it’s saved—and how many it could have trib.al/kaLuatc

Our new @JAMAInternalMed Viewpoint on addressing the health impacts of climate change in older adults. This work was led by superstar @uoftmedicine student @GabrielleMKatz in collaboration with Danielle Arigoni and @MaryRice_LungDr.

Comorbidities among older persons living with dementia do not appear to cluster into distinct groups or patterns highlighting the importance of taking an individualized approach for chronic disease management. #geriatrics #dementia agsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jg…

Our new @AGSJournal study detailing the annual prevalence and disparities in tube feeding among Canadian nursing home residents with advanced dementia: agsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jg… Overall, the prevalence was low and declined between 2006 and 2022. There was a higher prevalence among men, non-English and non-French language-speaking individuals, and residents of larger nursing homes situated in urban areas and lower-income neighborhoods. Great collaboration with @luketurcotte, @JPHirdes, @darstar_01, @kieranlquinn, @ChristinaReppas, John Morris, and Susan Mitchell.
