The Frailty Index (FI) is a known predictor of adverse outcomes in geriatric patients. usefulness the FI as an outcome measure trauma patients unknown.To assess effective assessment tool predicting patients.A 2-year (June 2011 to February 2013) prospective cohort study at level I center University Arizona. We prospectively measured frailty all Geriatric were defined those 65 years or older. was calculated using 50 preadmission variables. by 0.25 higher.The primary in-hospital complications....
Frailty is a geriatric syndrome resulting from age-related cumulative decline across multiple physiologic systems, impaired homeostatic reserve, and reduced capacity to resist stress. Based on recent estimates, 10% of community-dwelling older individuals are frail another 41.6% prefrail. Frail elders account for the highest health care costs in industrialized nations. Impaired physical function major indicator frailty, functional performance tests useful identification frailty. Objective...
Assessment of operative risk in geriatric patients undergoing emergency general surgery (EGS) is challenging. Frailty an established measure for assessment surgical cases. The aim our study was to validate a modified 15-variable EGS-specific frailty index (EGSFI).We prospectively collected (age older than 65 years) EGS 2 years. Postoperative complications were collected. calculated 200 based on their preadmission condition using 50-variable Rockwood index. Emergency surgery-specific...
BACKGROUND Frailty syndrome (FS) is a well-established predictor of outcomes in geriatric patients. The aim this study was to quantify the prevalence FS trauma patients and determine its association with readmissions, repeat falls, mortality at 6 months. METHODS we performed 2-year (2012–2013) prospective cohort analysis all consecutive (age, ≥ 65 years) assessed using Trauma-Specific Index (TSFI). Patients were stratified into: nonfrail, TSFI ≤ 0.12; prefrail, = 0.1 0.27; frail, > 0.27....
Although the demographic revolution has produced hundreds of millions people aged 65 and older, a substantial segment that population is not enjoying benefits extended healthspan. Many live with multiple chronic conditions disabilities erode quality life. The consequences are also costly for society. In United States, most 5% Medicare beneficiaries account approximately 50% Medicare's expenditures. This perspective summarizes recent workshop on biomedical approaches to best extend healthspan...
To determine whether frail elderly adults are at greater risk of fracture after a ground-level fall (GLF) than those who not frail.Prospective observational study.Level 1 trauma center.All (≥65) presenting GLF over year (N = 110; mean age ± SD 79.5 8.3, 54% male).A Frailty Index (FI) was calculated using 50 preadmission frailty variables. Participants with FI 0.25 or were considered to be frail. The primary outcome measure new fracture; 40.1% (n 45) participants presented fracture. secondary...
