Our secondary objective was to examine the associations between prolonged QTc intervals and risk factors identified as determinants in prolonging the QTc interval.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We identified all geriatric patients (aged 60 years and older) who were admitted to the geriatric program of our facility between May 1, 2003, and December 31, 2003. Those patients with a heart rate QTc interval calculated on the electrocardiogram (ECG) were eligible for the study. We used Bazett's formula to calculate the QTc interval. We defined a priori that a prolonged QTc interval would be 450 ms and 460 ms for men and women, respectively. We collected data on demographic variables such as weight, sex, age, and Axis I and III diagnoses, as well as on recognized risk factors for prolonged QTc interval. We used Student's t tests to conduct parametric analysis on continuous variables, and chi-square to test categorical variables for independence.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>During the study period, 88 patients were admitted to the geriatric division of Riverview Hospital. Of these patients, 34 men and 42 women had calculated QTc intervals on their ECG and therefore made up the study population. Our data show that 29.4% of men and 21.4% of women had prolonged QTc intervals. However, neither diagnostic nor medicinal risk factors were found to be associated with an increased incidence of prolonged QTc interval in this patient population.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The preliminary findings of this study suggest that in this patient population the QTc interval may not be influenced by recognized risk factors to the same extent as observed in the adult population. These results warrant confirmation by a larger, prospectively designed study.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/070674370605100606","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,12]],"date-time":"2017-01-12T18:56:41Z","timestamp":1484247401000},"page":"371-376","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Corrected QT Intervals in Newly Admitted Geriatric Psychiatric Patients: An Examination of Risk Factors"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"51","author":[{"given":"Jane","family":"Dumontet","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Pharmacy Professional Practice Leader, Department of Pharmacy, Riverview Hospital, Coquitlam, British Columbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rhonda","family":"Malyuk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Associate, Geriatric Psychiatry Program, Department of Geriatrics, Riverview Hospital, Coquitlam, British Columbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gary","family":"Kiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Fourth-year pharmaceutical student, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ric M","family":"Procyshyn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Psychopharmacologist, Department of Research, Riverview Hospital, Coquitlam, British Columbia"},{"name":"Clincial Associate Professor, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,5,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-070674370605100606","first-page":"353","volume":"7","author":"Bazett HC","year":"1920","journal-title":"Heart"},{"key":"bibr2-070674370605100606","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.0954-6820.1920.tb18266.x"},{"key":"bibr3-070674370605100606","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0002-9149(92)90562-D"},{"key":"bibr4-070674370605100606","first-page":"694","volume":"1","author":"Hodges M","year":"1983","journal-title":"J Am Coll Cardiol"},{"key":"bibr5-070674370605100606","first-page":"690","volume":"8","author":"Rautaharju PM","year":"1992","journal-title":"Can J Cardiol"},{"key":"bibr6-070674370605100606","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000175827"},{"key":"bibr7-070674370605100606","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/ajp.144.5.673"},{"key":"bibr8-070674370605100606","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00004714-199304000-00007"},{"key":"bibr9-070674370605100606","first-page":"290","volume":"46","author":"Flugelman MY","year":"1985","journal-title":"J Clin Psychiatry"},{"key":"bibr10-070674370605100606","first-page":"256","volume":"348","author":"Barnett AA","year":"1996","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"bibr11-070674370605100606","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(00)02035-3"},{"key":"bibr12-070674370605100606","unstructured":"Kelly HG, Fay JE, Laverty SG.
