Impacts of geriatric evaluation and management programs on defined outcomes: overview of the evidence. Frailty indexes that are automatically generated from electronic health records or administrative claims data may offer distinct . Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) is the process of identifying and quantifying frailty by examining various risky domains and body functions, which is the basis for geriatric medicine and research. Measurement: Bandeen-Roche K, Seplaki CL, Huang J, Buta B, Kalyani RR, Varadhan R, et al. A prospective population-based comparison of outcome in fractured neck of femur. Bandeen-Roche K, Xue QL, Ferrucci L, Walston J, Guralnik JM, Chaves P, et al. 2008;9(2):71-72. The inter-rater reliability of the CFS is very good, however, several biases may play a role in scoring, especially with clinicians who are inexperienced using the scale[6]. 1 shows the flow diagram of the frailty assessment process. Frailty has been conceptualized as a pre-disability state, however it can also be described as co-existing with disability.4. Even though they seem stable and not at high risk of dying (within six months). Frailty screening and interventions: considerations for clinical practice. Clinicians also need to recognize the possibility of some variability in judgement in specific circumstances. 2019;394(10206):1365-1375. They are among the fittest for their age. A standard procedure for creating a frailty index. Other assessments with a similar pre-disability focusinclude the Gill Frailty Measure (Gill et al., 2002); gait speed as a single measure (Abellan van Kan et al., 2009); and the Vulnerable Elders Survey (VES-13; Saliba et al., 2001). Deficit Accumulation Assessment:This assessment characterizes frailty through the lens of many illnesses and health problems--deficits. A frailty index score is calculated as the proportion of potential deficits an individual has. Preoperative Frailty Assessment - Palliative Care Network of Wisconsin Recognizing the Needs of High-Need High-Risk Veterans. . A 24-week multicomponent program for socioeconomically vulnerable older adults that consisted of group exercise, nutritional supplementation, depression management, deprescribing medications, and home hazard reductions, sustained beneficial effects up to 1 year.64 Therefore CGA based intervention programs can potentially promote healthy aging in community dwelling older adults.

Often, they exercise or are very active occasionally, e.g., seasonally. The site is secure. Conclusion: The FRAIL scale is a valid predictor of mortality. Predicting risk and outcomes for frail older adults: an umbrella review of frailty screening tools. Frailty is defined as a clinical syndrome driven by age-related biologic changes that drive physical characteristics of frailty and eventually, adverse outcomes. Nevertheless it provides a more quantitative value of frailty and can acquire information on the vulnerability domain and reversible cause which has substantial benefits.9 FI can be calculated using items from the standard CGA and does not require a separate CGA process.18,19 The FI-CGA was initiated by both using data from a standardized CGA and data derived from the clinical examination of a population study.18,19 The FI-CGA correlated highly with an empirical FI and was associated with higher risk of death and institutionalization. Here we present a summary of selected frailty assessment instruments, organized by threemajor schools of thought that support different approaches to the measurement of frailty. Brousseau AA, Dent E, Hubbard R, Melady D, mond M, Mercier , et al. Pahor M, Blair SN, Espeland M, Fielding R, Gill TM, Guralnik JM, et al. There was a moderate level of agreement between the . The clinical tools deployed by geriatricians to assess frailty can be grouped into two categories; using a questionnaire-based method or analyzing the physical performance of the subject.

Frailty is most often defined as an aging-related syndrome of physiological decline, characterized by marked vulnerability to adverse health outcomes. This site needs JavaScript to work properly. Reliability: The CFS is a reliable instrument to identify frailty in the emergency department. Nursing home patients are shown to be very frail. This review article summarizes the recent consensus and evidence of frailty and CGA. A frail person often takes to bed for weeks, prior to dying. High scores in these are associated with adverse outcomes in elderly patient populations and may aid clinical management.

J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci. sharing sensitive information, make sure youre on a federal Bethesda, MD 20894, Web Policies The FI is known to predict death better than the frailty phenotype.10,11 Nevertheless, the FI contains disability as an item, therefore it may not discriminate incidence of disability or future functional decline as well as the frailty phenotype.12,13 Also, when constructing a FI, the domain composed of self-reported items does not necessarily have predictive power inferior to a physical performance-based measure.14. Sletvold O, Helbostad JL, Thingstad P, Taraldsen K, Prestmo A, Lamb SE, et al. Frailty, measured by the FRAIL scale, was associated with increase LOS, complications after surgery, and discharge to rehabilitation facility in geriatric fracture patients. The inter-rater reliability of the Clinical Frailty Scale between the pre-assessment consultant and pre-assessment nurse was determined by comparing their frailty scores for each patient. About 80% or more of people fit the description offered for a given level. Address for Correspondence: Il-Young Jang, MD. Fried LP, Tangen CM, Walston J, et al. It provides valuable information to guide patient care and health policy development. These assessments have traditionally been accurate in 40% of cases only. The Frail Scale - A Risk Stratification in Older Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome. 1) Very fit (robust, active) Therefore frailty screening is more efficient in a large population as a first step of frailty assessment.20 However in high risk older patients or patients undergoing interventions that have a high likelihood of treatment-related adverse outcomes, detailed frailty assessment from the beginning may be more effective. [8] This scale has largely not been validated in younger people as a disability in younger people (including both acquired, as in spinal cord injury, and life-long, as in intellectual disability) does not have the same meaning for prognosis that it does with age-related disability[4]. This instrument is a potentially useful frailty screening tool. The review will familiarize readers with . Pre-Disability Assessment:This assessment model has emerged as a definition of frailty that posits frailty as a precursor to overt disability in older persons. Use of comprehensive geriatric assessment in older cancer patients: recommendations from the task force on CGA of the International Society of Geriatric Oncology (SIOG). Theou O, Rockwood K. Should frailty status always be considered when treating the elderly patient? Epub 2022 Oct 19. This means that anesthesiologists and other perioperative clinicians need to be familiar with frailty, its assessment, manifestations, and strategies for optimization. FI calculated during routine CGA of post-operative hip fracture patients, was significantly associated with adverse outcome including mortality and length of hospital stay.23 Also, frailty was associated with increased length of stay, complications after surgery and discharge to rehabilitation facilities in fracture patients.24, To establish treatment and discharge strategies for trauma elderly patients, the 15-item trauma-specific frailty index (TSFI) was validated from various centers. In the area of surgery, frailty is an independent risk factor for mortality, morbidity, length of stay, and postoperative complication.4,22 Frailty assessment has been most widely used in orthogeriatrics for hip fracture surgery. RCT = randomized controlled trials, ADL = activities of daily living, IADL = instrumental activities of daily living, SPPB = short physical performance battery, CHS = cardiovascular health study. For a recent decade, there have been several frailty-targeted intervention trials in the community settings in Korea, most of which are targeted towards vulnerable older adults. descriptive scales, disability assessments and comorbidity assessments. The geriatric floating interdisciplinary transition team. Fig. These people commonly exercise regularly. Extermann M, Aapro M, Bernabei R, Cohen HJ, Droz JP, Lichtman S, et al. For older individuals, frailty plays a decisive role in increasing adverse health outcomes in most clinical situations. 8600 Rockville Pike Overlap and evidence gaps in the diagnosis and treatment of frailty and malnutrition. 2001;56(3):M146-M156.

It is important to note that the sub-groups deemed frail by different methods often have minimal overlap (Cigolle et al., 2009; Xue et al., 2019). Walston J, Buta B, Xue QL. Robinson TN, Walston JD, Brummel NE, Deiner S, Brown CH, 4th, Kennedy M, et al. Frailty phenotype is more feasible for screening, whereas FI, derived from CGA, is better suited for management and follow-up. Requires paper, pen, writing surface for the clock drawing test.

Predicting outcome after hip fracture: using a frailty index to integrate comprehensive geriatric assessment results. Nutritional, physical, cognitive, and combination interventions and frailty reversal among older adults: a randomized controlled trial. Like physical frailty, deficit accumulation frailty predicts adverse outcomes. The more problems accumulated, the more frail an individual is considered to be. This tool can help optimize quality of life outcomes for geriatric patients.[1]. Validating trauma-specific frailty index for geriatric trauma patients: a prospective analysis. 2023 May 30;16:1521-1529. doi: 10.2147/JMDH.S409535. Laffon de Mazires C, Morley JE, Levy C, Agenes F, Barbagallo M, Cesari M, et al. . The FRAIL scale is a promising short screen to stratify and help operationalize the perioperative care of older surgical patie Some of the surgeries, like hernia surgery, appendectomies, and cyst removal were considered low-risk. Frailty assessment has emerged as a measure of biological age that correlates well with quality of life, hospital admissions and mortality. Similar to the PFP but includes a question about diseases instead of low activity. DTA estimates were more acceptable when a cut-point of 2 characteristics was used rather than 3 in the primary DTA analysis. Frailty in older adults: a nationally representative profile in the United States. The Clinical Frailty Scale focuses on items that can be readily observed without specialist training, including mobility. In Korea, the most widely known ortho-geriatric co-care model for hip surgery has not been established yet. Frontiers | Rapid Geriatric Assessment Using Mobile App in Primary Care CFS was most . Robust / non-frail= 0 criteria present. The FRAIL scale (short five-questions assessment of fatigue, resistance, aerobic capacity, illnesses and loss of weight) classified the patients into three categories: robust (score=0), prefrail (score=1-2), and frail (score=3-5). Recently there is a call for more specific language that clarifies conceptual differences between frailty definitions. The Placement of Aortic Transcatheter Valves (PARTNER) trial tried to assess the frailty status in various methods and revealed that TAVR was superior to SAVR at preventing death, stroke, or rehospitalization in low-risk patients 70 years with aortic stenosis.31 In the same year, another research group conducted a prospective cohort study called The Frailty Assessment Before Cardiac Surgery and Transcatheter Interventions study, which implemented frailty screening and CGA method to patients receiving aortic valve replacement and showed frailty trajectories to predict functional outcomes.32 Clinical trials on perioperative care and interventions to optimize functional outcomes are ongoing in the field of cardiology.32, Recently, frailty has been grafted into relatively younger patients. Part 1: Living alone; weight loss; increased fatigue; increased mobility difficulties; memory problems; slow gait speed. In the 2005 publication, there were 7 categories. Intermediate / prefrail = 1-2 criteria present. Morley JE, Vellas B, van Kan GA, Anker SD, Bauer JM, Bernabei R, et al. Frailty measurement in research and clinical practice: a review.

Severe Frailty is defined as a score of 12-17 possible points; apparent vulnerability is a score of 6-11 points; and non-frail is a score of 5 or less points. and transmitted securely. Clegg A, Bates C, Young J, Ryan R, Nichols L, Ann Teale E, et al. Pre-surgery frailty assessment - Veterans Affairs Frailty assessment in emergency medicine using the Clinical Frailty [4], Scoring the CFS in People with Cognitive Impairment: The degree of dementia is correlated to the level of frailty.[4]. Hernndez Morante JJ, Gmez Martnez C, Morillas-Ruiz JM. Arbaje AI, Maron DD, Yu Q, Wendel VI, Tanner E, Boult C, et al. According to the Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service, in 2012 a total of 36,052 people died in nursing homes, a 60 percent increase compared to that in 2009.66, There have been task force discussions to promote early screening of frailty in nursing homes.67 The FRAIL-NH scale has been developed to identify frail persons in nursing homes.68 It is comprised of 7 items; energy, transferring, mobility, continence, weight loss, feeding and dressing. Dent E, Kowal P, Hoogendijk EO. A systemic review identified 9 studies with a total of 1,373 nursing home patients, and reported that the prevalence of frail and prefrail were 52.3% and 40.2%.65 As the Korean society rapidly changes, nursing homes have increasingly become the site where many of the older adults spend their final years.
