May 2015 #GeriMedJC

The two articles critically appraised and discussed during the May 2015 #GeriMedJC were:

Carpenter CR, Shelton E, Fowler S, Suffoletto B, Platts-Mills TF, Rothman RE, Hogan TM. Risk factors and screening instruments to predict adverse outcomes for undifferentiated older emergency department patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Acad Emerg Med. 2015 Jan;22(1):1-21. 

Black DS, O'Reilly GA, Olmstead R, Breen EC, Irwin MR. Mindfulness meditation and improvement in sleep quality and daytime impairment among older adults with sleep disturbances: a randomized clinical trial. JAMA Intern Med. 2015 Apr 1;175(4):494-501.

It was great having our emergency medicine colleagues (such as @geri_em, @GeriatricEDNews) contribute to the long article discussion. It seems like there's lots of opportunity for research in the area of risk stratification in elderly emergency department patients.  Thanks for making this the largest #GeriMedJC to date:
