Studies exploring the association of cognitive frailty and mortality have been mainly based on community settings or nursing home settings. The aim our study was to explore between 30-day among older Chinese inpatients.A national cohort performed in different hospitals China. A baseline survey conducted from October 2018 February 2019. Trained investigators collected mortality. Cognitive impairment were defined by Mini-Cog FRAIL scale, respectively. Multivariate regression used status with mortality.Of these participants, there 3891 (41.91%) women 5392 (58.09%) men, an average age 72.41 (SD=5.72). prevalence 5.44%. After adjusting for age, gender, education, depression activities daily living (ADL), odds ratios (ORs) inpatients 3.43 (95% CI: 1.80-6.55) frailty, 1.85 1.01-3.41) only, 1.43 0.77-2.65) only compared reference group (neither nor impairment). In addition, discrimination higher patients (area under curve =0.676 [95% 0.621-0.731]) than either =0.644 0.594-0.694]) = 0.606 0.556-0.655]) separately. Stratified analysis showed that associations still existed when grouped gender.Our found had a risk those without impairment, suggesting clinicians should be encouraged perform early screening carry out effective interventions reverse syndrome.
