Frailty Predicts in-Hospital Death in Traumatic Brain Injury Patients: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Background and aim: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a severe public health problem in elderly patients, and frailty is associated with higher mortality rates in older patients. This study aims to assess the prognostic value of frailty in patients with TBI.
Methods: Clinical data from 348 TBI patients treated at Affiliated Kunshan Hospital of Jiangsu University and Kunshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine between December 2018 and December 2020 were retrospectively collected. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to determine risk factors affecting in-hospital mortality, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted to assess the discriminatory power of the frailty index. Frailty was assessed using the FRAIL scale, where FRAIL stands for Fatigue, Resistance, Ambulation, Illness, and Loss of weight, with each item scored as 0 or 1.
Results: Using the FRIAL questionnaire, 122 patients had low frailty and 226 had high frailty. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that high frailty was a risk factor for in-hospital mortality in TBI patients (P<0.001, OR=2.012 [1.788-2.412]). The proportion of infections occurring in the two groups was statistically different (P=0.015), with severely infected TBI patients being more likely to develop complications. The ROC curve showed an area under the curve for the FRAIL score of 0.845 [0.752-0.938].
Conclusion: Frailty is an important risk factor for in-hospital mortality in elderly TBI patients, and more attention should be paid to patients with high levels of frailty. Clinicians should consider the degree of frailty when assessing TBI and making treatment decisions.
期刊介绍:
Therapeutics and Clinical Risk Management is an international, peer-reviewed journal of clinical therapeutics and risk management, focusing on concise rapid reporting of clinical studies in all therapeutic areas, outcomes, safety, and programs for the effective, safe, and sustained use of medicines, therapeutic and surgical interventions in all clinical areas.
The journal welcomes submissions covering original research, clinical and epidemiological studies, reviews, guidelines, expert opinion and commentary. The journal will consider case reports but only if they make a valuable and original contribution to the literature.
As of 18th March 2019, Therapeutics and Clinical Risk Management will no longer consider meta-analyses for publication.
The journal does not accept study protocols, animal-based or cell line-based studies.
