Article Abstract
Background: Life expectancy has increased worldwide, leading to a higher proportion of elderly individuals in the population. This phenomenon, known as the aging tsunami, is also emerging in Iran and is expected to grow rapidly in the coming years. By 1429 AH, it is projected that more than one-fifth of the population in Iran will be elderly. Recognizing the importance of primary health care in achieving universal health coverage, the World Health Organization has emphasized its role in promoting health for all. In Iran, the successful implementation of primary health care networks has contributed significantly to the advancements in the health system over the past 4 decades. Therefore, this research will aim to develop a customized model for comprehensive health service centers that are specifically tailored to meet the needs of the elderly population in Iran.
Materials And Methods: This study will be carried out in four distinct phases. The initial phase involves conducting a scoping review to identify the criteria for aged-friendly health care centers worldwide. In the second phase, semistructured interviews will be conducted with experts in the field to uncover the challenges and criteria specific to comprehensive aged-friendly health care service centers in Iran. Building upon the findings from the first two phases, the research team will proceed to develop a preliminary model in the third phase. Finally, in the fourth phase, the initial model will undergo refinement through the Delphi technique, and the final report will be presented upon its completion.
Discussion: The finding of this study can be the development of a customized local model for comprehensive health service centers in Iran that aligns with the specific needs and preferences of the elderly population, while also adhering to the standards of an aged-friendly center. It is anticipated that this model will effectively enhance the delivery of health services to the elderly, thereby improving the overall healthcare process for older adults.

Background: To assess the efficacy and safety of tenecteplase in patients presenting within 24 hours of symptom onset with a large vessel occlusion and target mismatch on perfusion computed tomography.
Methods: ETERNAL-LVO was a prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded end point, phase 3, superiority trial where adult participants with a large vessel occlusion, presenting within 24 hours of onset with salvageable tissue on computed tomography perfusion, were randomized to tenecteplase 0.25 mg/kg or standard care across 11 primary and comprehensive stroke centers in Australia.
