The relationship between glaucoma and an electronic frailty index with the cumulative incidence of healthcare encounters for falls and fractures in older adults.
Objective: To compare the association of glaucoma and glaucoma suspect diagnoses with frailty, quantified via an electronic frailty index (eFI), and to evaluate whether a glaucoma diagnosis moderates the association between frailty and the cumulative risk of acute healthcare encounters for incident falls or fractures.
Design: Retrospective study of electronic health record (EHR) data.
Subjects, participants, and/or controls: Adults ≥65 years old with an ICD-10 diagnosis code for glaucoma or glaucoma suspect who had a calculable eFI score as of 10/1/2017.
Methods: Ordinal logistic regression was used to examine the cross-sectional association between glaucoma (predictor) and frailty status (outcome) based on the eFI. The relationship of glaucoma and frailty with the cumulative incidence of hospital or emergency room visits for injurious falls or fractures over time was modeled using cause-specific recurrent event survival models that account for censoring and the competing risk of death.
Main outcome measures: Frailty status based on the eFI and cumulative incidence of falls or fractures.
Results: Glaucoma patients were significantly more likely to be frail compared to glaucoma suspects (adjusted odds ratio=1.36, 95 % CI(1.16, 1.60)). Both pre-frailty and frailty were associated with an increased risk of incident falls/fractures in older adults: prefrail (hazard ratio=2.07, 95 % CI (1.40, 3.06)), frail (hazard ratio=3.35, 95 % CI (2.24, 5.03)), but there was no interaction of frailty with glaucoma status on falls/fractures risk. Also, the risk of incident falls/fractures did not significantly differ between glaucoma versus glaucoma suspects.
Conclusions: Glaucoma patients were more likely to be frail or pre-frail based on an EHR-derived index than glaucoma suspects. Both pre-frailty and frailty were associated with increased cumulative risk of injurious falls or fractures but there was no interaction of frailty with glaucoma. Frailty based on the eFI was better at discriminating who is at risk of acute healthcare utilization for falls/fractures than a glaucoma diagnosis.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Frailty & Aging is a peer-reviewed international journal aimed at presenting articles that are related to research in the area of aging and age-related (sub)clinical conditions. In particular, the journal publishes high-quality papers describing and discussing social, biological, and clinical features underlying the onset and development of frailty in older persons. The Journal of Frailty & Aging is composed by five different sections: - Biology of frailty and aging In this section, the journal presents reports from preclinical studies and experiences focused at identifying, describing, and understanding the subclinical pathophysiological mechanisms at the basis of frailty and aging. - Physical frailty and age-related body composition modifications Studies exploring the physical and functional components of frailty are contained in this section. Moreover, since body composition plays a major role in determining physical frailty and, at the same time, represents the most evident feature of the aging process, special attention is given to studies focused on sarcopenia and obesity at older age. - Neurosciences of frailty and aging The section presents results from studies exploring the cognitive and neurological aspects of frailty and age-related conditions. In particular, papers on neurodegenerative conditions of advanced age are welcomed. - Frailty and aging in clinical practice and public health This journal’s section is devoted at presenting studies on clinical issues of frailty and age-related conditions. This multidisciplinary section particularly welcomes reports from clinicians coming from different backgrounds and specialties dealing with the heterogeneous clinical manifestations of advanced age. Moreover, this part of the journal also contains reports on frailty- and age-related social and public health issues. - Clinical trials and therapeutics This final section contains all the manuscripts presenting data on (pharmacological and non-pharmacological) interventions aimed at preventing, delaying, or treating frailty and age-related conditions.The Journal of Frailty & Aging is a quarterly publication of original papers, review articles, case reports, controversies, letters to the Editor, and book reviews. Manuscripts will be evaluated by the editorial staff and, if suitable, by expert reviewers assigned by the editors. The journal particularly welcomes papers by researchers from different backgrounds and specialities who may want to share their views and experiences on the common themes of frailty and aging.The abstracting and indexing of the Journal of Frailty & Aging is covered by MEDLINE (approval by the National Library of Medicine in February 2016).
