Comparative risk of hip fractures in elderly nursing home patients with depression using paroxetine and other selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.
The researchers evaluated comparative safety of paroxetine and other selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) for the risk of hip fractures. They found no differential risk of hip fractures between paroxetine and other SSRIs.

Defining safety in the nursing home setting: Implications for future research.
AHRQ’s Common Format for nursing homes (NHs) accommodates voluntary reporting for 4 adverse events: falls with injury, pressure ulcers, medication errors, and infections. In 2015, AHRQ funded a technical brief to describe the state of the science related to safety in the NH setting to inform a research agenda. Thirty-six recent systematic reviews evaluated NH safety-related interventions to address these 4 adverse events and reported mostly mixed evidence about effective approaches to ameliorate them.

Long-term carriage of ciprofloxacin-resistant Escherichia coli Isolates in high-risk nursing home residents.
This paper's objective was to characterize the incidence and duration of carriage of ciprofloxacin-resistant Escherichia coli (CipREc) in nursing homes and to identify those in the O25b-ST131 lineage. The authors found that CipREc occurred frequently in nursing home residents and is carried for long durations, and that reacquisition following clearance is common.
