Abstract
Background: Frailty has been shown to be a better predictor of clinical outcomes than age alone across many diseases. Few studies have evaluated the association of frailty and SICH incidence and outcomes. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to investigate the odds of frailty in SICH and the prognosis of SICH patients who are frail.
Methods: Following a PROSPERO-registered protocol, three authors conducted a systematic review of the PubMed/Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library and CINAHL databases up to 17 October 2024. The certainty of evidence was assessed using the GRADE framework. A standard pairwise meta-analysis using odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals was performed, with results presented in forest plots.
Results: From 8 included studies (17, 524 participants), the odds of frailty are significantly higher in SICH patients than patients without SICH (OR: 1.47, 95% CI: 1.31 to 1.64, p < 0.01). Within the SICH cohort, frail patients have significantly higher rates of mortality (OR: 3.48, 95% CI: 2.51 to 4.82, p < 0.01) and unfavourable outcome (mRS 3-6) (OR: 1.75, 95% CI: 1.35 to 2.26, p < 0.01) CONCLUSION: SICH patients are more likely to be frail, and SICH patients who are frail have higher rates of mortality and adverse outcomes. Further research is required to compare the robustness of different frailty assessment tools in assessing frailty in SICH cohorts.
期刊介绍:
World Neurosurgery has an open access mirror journal World Neurosurgery: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The journal''s mission is to:
-To provide a first-class international forum and a 2-way conduit for dialogue that is relevant to neurosurgeons and providers who care for neurosurgery patients. The categories of the exchanged information include clinical and basic science, as well as global information that provide social, political, educational, economic, cultural or societal insights and knowledge that are of significance and relevance to worldwide neurosurgery patient care.
-To act as a primary intellectual catalyst for the stimulation of creativity, the creation of new knowledge, and the enhancement of quality neurosurgical care worldwide.
-To provide a forum for communication that enriches the lives of all neurosurgeons and their colleagues; and, in so doing, enriches the lives of their patients.
Topics to be addressed in World Neurosurgery include: EDUCATION, ECONOMICS, RESEARCH, POLITICS, HISTORY, CULTURE, CLINICAL SCIENCE, LABORATORY SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, OPERATIVE TECHNIQUES, CLINICAL IMAGES, VIDEOS
