Hace 3 días · Magnhild Skråmestø Dejgaard, Siri Rostoft. About the authors. A patient who is classified as frail is at high risk of post-surgical complications, nursing home admission, and of death. An assessment of patient frailty provides a more accurate picture of the patient's individual vulnerability than age and multimorbidity alone, and ...
Hace 2 días · Frailty is increasingly recognized as a significant health concern, particularly due to its association with cardiovascular pathologies. This study aims to examine how vascular endothelial dysfunction, a known premorbid stage in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular diseases, contributes to the link between cardiovascular illness and frailty.
Hace 3 días · Our research focuses on examining plasma oxylipin levels in frail elderly individuals to identify novel biomarkers. Diagnostic criteria for frailty included assessments using the Fried Phenotype and FTS-5, with blood samples collected from 71 elderly participants (50 women and 21 men) with mean ages of 73.6±5.9 and 76.2±6.2 years, respectively.
Hace 2 días · Stem cells against frailty. These researchers begin by defining frailty as “a state of heightened vulnerability to potential stressors as a consequence of reduction in physiological reserves across multiple systems” [1]. This vulnerability destroys the strength and endurance of older people, exhausting their stamina and greatly increasing ...
Hace 3 días · Patients were stratified into frailty categories using the validated Hospital Frailty Risk Score (HFRS). Perioperative MACE occurred in 2.5% of all hospitalizations. However, in those with high and medium HFRS scores, there was a significantly higher risk of MACE (9.1% and 6.9%, respectively) compared to the low frailty cohort (1.3%, P <0.
Hace 4 días · The frailty, understood as a state of physiological reserve encompassing multiple dimensions, has demonstrated a higher correlation with the risk of postoperative complications. 3,5 Moreover, the Frailty Index (FI) is a quick and user-friendly tool that can be easily implemented in the clinical setting through a straightforward calculation. 6 Therefore, we advocate for the use of the FI to ...
Hace 4 días · Development of the Frailty App “Working in the Frailty Service, I was seeing patients every day, and found that they and their families were asking the same questions repeatedly. They were seeking information about frailty and how to recognise its signs.
