Article Abstract
Objective: Aging is a growing public health concern for people, organizations, and governments. The current study was undertaken to provide insights into the global research output on geriatric nursing.
Methods: A bibliometric study was implemented using the WoS database for the period from 1900 to 2020. Various tools and measures were used to analyze and visualized.
Results: The search strategy found 4923 papers. The oldest paper was written by Beverly C. Andre in 1953. As team size increases, so does the number of citations. The USA was the active country and the highest number of coauthors. New York University was an active institution. Stig Karlsson was the most active author in Geriatric Nursing with 28 articles from Sweden, followed by Koen Milisen and Sandman, with 26 articles each from Sweden and Belgium. The most frequent words in this field were depression, malnutrition, education, Alzheimer's disease, and dementia. The latest research themes in this field were COVID-19, interprofessional locomotive syndrome, emergency nursing, and public health. The most influential papers were specified. Journal of the American Geriatrics Society was the most active journal.
Conclusions: Geriatric nursing is a rooted field and has received special attention in the last decade. Policymakers, especially in developing countries, should pay attention to geriatric nursing as a specialty of nursing to solve aging issues they would face considering the increasing elderly population.

Neurosurgery, Temple University Hospital, Philadelphia, USA.
Introduction Potentially surgical brain metastases are increasingly common in patients aged 80 and older, yet the risk-benefit profile of surgical resection in this population remains inadequately defined. Surgical intervention in octogenarians carries a high risk due to systemic issues associated with advanced age and prevalent comorbidities, and data on perioperative morbidity and functional outcomes are limited. Methods A retrospective case series including six patients aged 80 years and older who underwent craniotomy for the resection of brain metastases at a single tertiary care center was conducted.

Impact of regular televisits on unplanned hospital admissions of nursing home residents in rural Germany: a pre-post intervention study.
BMC Geriatr
September 2025
Faculty of Medicine, RWTH Aachen University, Pauwelsstraße 30, 52074, Aachen, Germany.
Background: Hospital admissions occur frequently in nursing homes and are often preventable. Inappropriate hospitalisations due to nursing home-sensitive conditions pose significant risks to residents, place additional strain on emergency departments and hospitals, and thus lead to substantial healthcare costs. In light of demographic changes- characterised by an aging and increasingly multimorbid nursing home population- combined with ubiquitous lack of health care professionals, new strategies are urgently needed to ensure adequate medical care in nursing homes.
