High inter-rater reliability of Japanese bedriddenness ranks and cognitive function scores: A hospital-based prospective observational study
The statistical validities of the official Japanese classifications of activities of daily living (ADLs), including bedriddenness ranks (BR) and cognitive function scores (CFS), have yet to be assessed. To this aim, we evaluated the ability of BR and CFS to assess ADLs using inter-rater reliability and criterion-related validity.

Individualized predictions of early isolated distal deep vein thrombosis in patients with acute ischemic stroke: A retrospective study
Although isolated distal deep vein thrombosis (IDDVT) is a clinical complication for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients, very few clinicians value it and few methods can predict early IDDVT. This study aimed to establish and validate an individualized predictive nomogram for the risk of early IDDVT in AIS patients.

A change in temporal muscle thickness is correlated with past energy adequacy in bedridden older adults: A prospective cohort study
Energy inadequacy has a great impact on health outcomes in older adult patients; however, it is difficult to evaluate energy adequacy in these patients, especially in home-care settings. We recently reported that temporal muscle thickness can be an indicator of nutritional status.

Living on the edge of the community: factors associated with discontinuation of community living among people with cognitive impairment
As Japanese society continues to age, the isolation of older people is increasing, and community living for people with cognitive impairment is becoming more difficult. However, the challenges faced by people with cognitive impairment living in the community have not been fully explored because of methodological difficulties.

Early mobility after fragility hip fracture: A mixed methods embedded case study
Following a hip fracture up to 60% of patients are unable to regain their pre-fracture level of mobility. For hospitalized older adults, the deconditioning effect of bedrest and functional decline has been identified as the most preventable cause of ambulation loss.
