Although muscle mass, muscle strength, or functional performance typically serve as the primary endpoints, regulatory agencies have recently emphasized integrating Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) as primary or secondary outcomes in interventional studies. This shift acknowledges the importance of PROMs and Patient-Reported Experience Measures (PREMs) in assessing intervention effectiveness and aligns with patient-centered healthcare models. The aims of this systematic review are 1) to identify all sarcopenia-designed interventional studies that used PROMs/PREMs as the primary or secondary outcome, 2) to identify the different PROMs/PREMs used within those studies, and 3) to summarize the effects of sarcopenia-designed interventions on PROMs/PREMs of sarcopenic participants. For that, a systematic search of databases (Medline, EMBASE, Review- Cochrane Central of Register of Controlled Trials, and PsychINFO (Via Ovid)) was conducted in September 2023. The review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement, and the protocol was registered on Open Science Framework (https://osf.io/zxgwm/). The systematic review identified 17 RCTs as sarcopenia-designed interventional studies reporting PROMs. PROMs covered the assessment of various aspects, including quality of life, depressive symptoms, loneliness/social isolation, daytime sleepiness, insomnia impact, and sleep quality/disturbance. Only one sarcopenia-specific PROM, namely the SarQoL, was reported. The effect of sarcopenia-designed interventions on PROMs showed considerable heterogeneity, underscoring the need for standardization in sarcopenia research by developing a Core Outcome Set (COS). COS in sarcopenia studies would ensure consistent and comparable findings, ultimately enhancing the reliability and effectiveness of interventions.</p>","PeriodicalId":51629,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Frailty & Aging","volume":"13 3","pages":"224-232"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141857073","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Increasingly the association between frailty and hospital-acquired complications has been reported. However, the overall burden of frailty in this setting has not been described. Therefore, we undertook this study to describe the association between frailty and the risk of hospital-acquired complications among older adults across our five acute hospitals and to estimate the overall burden of frailty attributable to these complications.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Consecutive admissions among women and men aged ≥ 65 years across our local health district's five acute hospitals, between January 2010 and December 2020, were included to investigate the association between the number of cumulative frailty deficit items and hospital-acquired complications and infections. The numbers of cumulative frailty deficits are presented in four groups (0-1 item, 2 items, 3 items, and 4-13 items). Individual events such as falls, delirium, pressure injuries, thromboembolism, malnutrition, and multiple types of infections are also presented. The overall burden of frailty was estimated using a population-attributable-risk approach.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>During the study period there were 4,428 hospital-acquired complications, among 120,567 older adults (52% women). The risk of any hospital-acquired complication (HAC) or any hospital-acquired infection (HAI) increased as the cumulative number of frailty deficits increased. For the 0-1 deficit item group versus the 4-13 items group, the risk of any HAC increased from 5.5/1000 admissions to 80.0/1000 admissions, and for any HAI these rates were 6.2/1000 versus 58.2/1000, respectively (both p-values < 0.001). The 22% (27,144/120,567) of patients with 3 or more frailty deficit items accounted for 63% (2,774/4,428) of the combined hospital-acquired complications and infections. We estimated that the population-attributable risks of any hospital-acquired complication or infection were 0.54 and 0.47, respectively.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>We found that an increasing number of cumulative frailty deficit items among older patients are associated with a higher risk of hospital-acquired complications or infections. Importantly, frail older adults account for most of these adverse events.</p>","PeriodicalId":51629,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Frailty & Aging","volume":"13 4","pages":"522-528"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142689642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
