During aging, there is a decline in major physiological functions (immune system, muscle, cognitive, endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory and renal functions), which combined with multimorbidity, environmental factors and polypharmacy can lead to frailty. Frailty is a clinical syndrome and dynamic concept including a pre-frailty stage; it reflects a reduction in physiological reserve capacities which alters the mechanisms of adaptation to stress. It results in the inability of a vulnerable subject to return to baseline homoeostasis after minor stress, increasing the risk of hospitalization, loss of autonomy and death. To date, there are no consensual criteria for frailty and its assessment in clinical practice remains difficult, based either on physical criteria including weight loss, fatigue, reduction in muscular strength and walking, inactivity or on a multidimensional geriatric assessment. The impact on morbidity and mortality and quality of life, the possibility of detecting reversible stages of pre-frailty and of implementing preventive measures justify interest in rheumatology as the number of patients aged 65 years and older with inflammatory rheumatic diseases is increasing. If there are no specific recommendations for the management of frailty or pre-frailty, recommendations for exercises, physical activity and nutrition to limit sarcopenia and comorbidities can be applied. The association with multimorbidity and its additive effect reinforces the need for screening, prevention and specific management of comorbidities, particularly infections, osteoporosis, cardiovascular diseases, during chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases, PMR and GCA.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54902,"journal":{"name":"Joint Bone Spine","volume":"92 4","pages":"Article 105864"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143517300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Revascularization may be considered if the lesion remains symptomatic or progressive despite optimal medical treatment, provided that there is no disease-related inflammation, and always managed by a team of trained experts. The main risk associated with aortic involvement (aortitis) is the development of an aneurysm, most often in the thoracic aorta, after several years of progression. Indications and surgical techniques used to manage these aneurysms follow the recommendations for the general population. In peripheral artery disease, lesions are characterized by parietal thickening, stenosis and sometimes occlusion, which can lead to exertional claudication or chronic permanent ischemia. Open or endovascular surgical management of these stenotic lesions is frequently complicated by restenosis. The role of endovascular techniques in the management of inflammatory lesions is debated, but there is a preference for open surgery, particularly in the lower limbs. Cervical and cerebral arteries also present a risk of stenosis leading to stroke. Balloon dilation and/or stenting of cervical or cerebral arteries during GCA carries a high-risk of rupture and restenosis, and remains a rescue treatment limited to certain specific cases of stroke where there are concerns about patient prognosis in the absence of intervention.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54902,"journal":{"name":"Joint Bone Spine","volume":"92 4","pages":"Article 105862"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143473319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
