SINDROM GERIATRI
Kumpulan gejala dan atau tanda klinis,
dari satu atau lebih penyakit, yang
sering dijumpai pada pasien geriatri.
- Perlu penatalaksanaan segera
- Identifikasi penyebab
- Comprehensive geriatric assessment

The Bed
Look at a patient lying long in bed. What a
pathetic picture he makes! The blood clotting in
his veins, the lime draining from his bones, the
scybala stacking up in his colon, the flesh rotting
from his seat, the urine leaking from his
distended bladder, and the spirit evaporating
from his soul.
(R Asher: The Dangers of Going to Bed: BMJ 1947)
Imobilization
• Keadaan tidak bergerak atau tirah
baring selama 3 hari atau lebih dengan
gerak anatomik yang hilang akibat
perubahan fungsi.

Aging and Malnutrition
Malnutrition in the Elderly:
More common than you would think
• 2 - 10% free-living elderly populations
1
• 30 - 60% institutionalized elderly 1
• 40 - 85% nursing home residents 2
• 20 - 60 % home care patients 2
(1) Vellas, B. et al, NNWS, 1999, Volume 1; (2) Nutr Screening Initiative
Why the concern?
• Malnourished elderly are:
– 2 times more likely to visit the doctor
– 3 times more likely to be hospitalized
• Infection is the most common disorder
– 2 - 10 times more likely to die if malnourished
• Diminished muscle strength
• Poor healing
• Malnutrition is a greater threat than obesity

Causes of weight loss in older
persons
Causes of weight loss in older persons
• Medications
• Emotions (depression)
• Alcoholism, anorexia
• Late-life paranoia
• Swallowing problems
• Oral problems
• No money (poverty)
• Wandering (dementia)
• Hyperthyroidism, Hyperparathyroidism
• Entry problems (malabsorption)
• Eating problems
• Low-salt, low-cholesterol diet
• Shopping problems

Consequences of malnutrition

•
Diminished functional ability
Compromised immune function
Impaired wound healing
Constipation, diarrhoea, pain
Reduced renal function
Respiratory failure
Skeletal muscle atrophy
Increased length of stay
Surgery stress, increased metabolic rate
Reddish hair, atrophy of tongue papillae

Intellectual Impairment:
Dementia & Delirium
ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE
A progressive neurologic disorder that results in
memory loss, personality changes, global cognitive
dysfunction, and functional impairments. Loss of
short-term memory is most prominent early. In the
late stages of disease, patients are totally dependent
upon others for basic activities of daily living such as
feeding and toileting
Depression
Infection
Infection
• Morbidity and mortality no.2 after CV
diseases:
– Comorbid of chronic diseases
– Decrease of immunity
– Communication difficulties
– Environment
• Predisposition: intrinsic, virulence,
environment

Clinical features of infections
in elderly
• Fever
• Nonspecific symptoms :
- Anorexia
- Fatigue
- Weight loss
- Incontinence (acute)
- Falls
- Mental confusion
Sir William Osler :
“In old age, pneumonia may be latent,
coming on without chill, the cough and
expectoration are slight, and the
physical sign changeable.”
Geriatric assessment is needed to:
• Identify geriatric syndromes/functional
decline
• Evaluate and manage these geriatric
syndromes/functional decline
- address reversible causes
- apply general measures
• Determine the type/extent of follow-up
needed to sustain gains achieved
Iatrogenesis: A Definition
• Any illness that results from a
diagnostic/therapeutic intervention
or the omission of such intervention
that is not a natural consequence of
the patient’s disease
Contributors to Polypharmacy
Patient
–
–
–
–
–
Borrowing or sharing medications
Failing to understand instructions
Saving medication for later use
Combining Rx’s with OTC’s and Herbals
Visiting more than one physician
Doctor
– Failing to review the patient’s medications
– Prescribing medications for common and non-life
threatening symptoms
– Treating multiple symptoms or illnesses with several
drugs
IMPACTION
(CONSTIPATION)
• Constipation ↟ in older people > 60 y
• Regular use of laxatives
• Associated : anxiety, depression
poor health perception
• Complication : fecal impaction (1)
fecal incontinence (1)
urinary retention (2)
sigmoid volvulus (2)
• ↑ morbidity : intestinal obstruction,

Summary
• Geriatric population is rising worldwide, esp. in
developing countries, including Indonesia
• Geriatric patients have special characteristics
that need to be considered
• Syndromes in geriatric  geriatric giants (13 i)
• All the syndromes are inter-correlated and
should be evaluated in all geriatric patients
• The assessment and management of geriatric
patients holistic comprehensive
