Abstract
Introduction
We aim to analyze which factors predominantly influence the QALYs related to geriatric frailty syndrome (QALYs-frail) in octogenarians.
Materials and methods
Prospective observational study on 63 frail octogenarian patients admitted to the medical area. Clinical-demographic variables were collected, as well as quality of life (EuroQoL-5D-5L), nutritional status (MNA-SF), dependence (Barthel scale), comorbidity, and the ADLs related to frailty. Statistical models were carried out to study the association between the different variables and to find predictive factors.
Results
Patients with better nutritional status showed a positive correlation with the AVACs-frail (r = 0.4; P=.003), as did patients with a lower degree of dependence (r = 0.71; p< 0.001). When adding multimorbidity, a significant negative correlation was identified (r = −0.16; P=.002). The same happened with age (r = −0.43; P<.001).
Conclusions
Managing fragility poses a challenge, but specific interventions could have an impactful and cost-effective effect on this vulnerable subgroup of the population.
期刊介绍:
Revista Clínica Española published its first issue in 1940 and is the body of expression of the Spanish Society of Internal Medicine (SEMI).
The journal fully endorses the goals of updating knowledge and facilitating the acquisition of key developments in internal medicine applied to clinical practice. Revista Clínica Española is subject to a thorough double blind review of the received articles written in Spanish or English. Nine issues are published each year, including mostly originals, reviews and consensus documents.
