Corsi N, et al. - Study authors attempted to examine pain prevalence and intensity, and its pharmacological therapy in elderly patients hospitalized in 101 internal medicine wards. They collected two thousand, five hundred thirty-five patients of whom almost a quarter was older than 85 years old by taking advantage of the “REgistro POliterapie Società Italiana Medicina Interna” (REPOSI). Among them, five hundred eighty-two patients were affected by pain (either chronic or acute) and two hundred ninety-six was diagnosed with chronic pain. Findings revealed that compared to patients without pain, those with pain showed worse cognitive status, higher depression and comorbidities, and a longer duration of hospital stay. More attention was required on the pharmacological treatment of chronic pain, particularly in hospitalized elderly patients, in order to support them and facilitate their daily life after hospital discharge.
