Frailty is a clinically recognized syndrome of decreased physiological reserve. The heightened state vulnerability in these patients confers greater risk adverse outcomes after even minor stressors. Our aim was to assess the prevalence and prognostic significance frailty phenotype referred for heart transplantation.Consecutive or on waiting list transplantation from March 2013 underwent assessment. defined as positive response 3 more following 5 components: weak grip strength, slowed walking...
We recently reported that frailty is independently predictive of increased mortality in patients with advanced heart failure referred for transplantation (HTx). The aim this study was to assess the impact on short-term outcomes after bridge-to-transplant ventricular assist device (BTT-VAD) implantation and/or HTx and determine if reversible these procedures.Between August 2013 2016, 100 126 consecutive underwent assessment using Fried's Frailty Phenotype before surgical intervention: 40 (21...
Background. Frailty is a clinically recognized syndrome of decreased physiological reserve and key contributor to suboptimal clinical outcomes in various lung disease groups. Interstitial (ILD) fast approaching chronic obstructive pulmonary as the number one indication for transplantation worldwide. Our aim was assess whether frailty predictor mortality patients with ILD referred an Australian cohort. Methods. Consecutive or on waiting list from May 2013 December 2017 underwent assessment...
Frailty contributes to increased morbidity and mortality in patients referred for undergoing lung transplantation (LTX). The study aim was determine if frailty is reversible after LTX those classified as frail at evaluation.Consecutive recipients were included. All underwent modified physical assessment during evaluation. For assessed frail, reassessed on completion of the post-LTX rehabilitation program. defined by presence ≥ 3 domains Fried Phenotype (mFFP).We performed 166 transplants...
The study aimed to determine whether the addition of cognitive impairment, depression, or both, assessment physical frailty (PF) is associated with risk lung transplant (LTX) waitlist mortality.Since March 2013, all patients referred for LTX evaluation underwent PF assessment. Cognition was assessed using Montreal Cognitive Assessment and depression Depression in Medical Illness questionnaire. We association 4 composite measures: ≥3 5 = frail, (CogF 6 frail), depressive (DepF combined (ComF...
The aim of this study was to validate our previous finding that frailty predicts early mortality in patients with advanced heart failure (AHF) and including cognition the assessment enhances prediction mortality.Patients AHF referred Transplant Unit between November 2015 April 2020 underwent physical using modified Fried (PF) phenotype as well cognitive Montreal Cognitive Assessment identify who were cognitively frail (CogF). We assessed predictive value 2 measures (PF ≥ 3 5 = frail; CogF 6...
Background: Frailty is an important predictive measure of mortality and rehospitalisation in people with heart failure. To date, there are no frailty instruments validated for use Aim: The aim this study was to evaluate the convergent discriminant validity three versions phenotype those Methods: A single site, prospective cohort undertaken among individuals a confirmed diagnosis assessed concurrently using phenotype: original two modified versions; Survey Health, Ageing Retirement Europe...
