Materiales y métodos: se realizó un estudio observacional, analítico, transversal. Para la detección del SF se empleó el cuestionario de FRAIL. Se recogieron datos demográficos y clínicos, se realizó una valoración funcional, cognitiva, afectiva, nutricional y social, de los pacientes incluidos en el estudio, utilizando los componentes de la valoración geriátrica integral. Se obtuvieron medidas de frecuencia, de asociación y de significancia estadística, entre la variable dependiente SF y las variables independientes. Se calcularon los OR con IC al 95%, considerándose un valor p < 0,05 como estadísticamente significativo. Resultados: de 180 pacientes estudiados, 34 (18,9%) fueron frágiles, 100 (55,6%) pre frágiles y 46 (25,5%) robustos. En el análisis multivariado se identificaron como factores asociados con el SF: edad > 80 años (OR = 11,65; IC 95%: 3,64-37,24, p < 0,001), deterioro cognitivo (OR = 9,23; IC 95%: 2,48-34,27, p = 0,001), depresión (OR = 3,37; IC 95%: 1,22-9,29, p = 0,010) y desnutrición (OR = 2,97; IC 95%: 1,05 -6,55, p = 0,023). Conclusiones: el SF es una condición frecuente en la consulta externa de Geriatría y en nuestro estudio se asoció con una edad mayor de 80 años, deterioro cognitivo, depresión y desnutrición. Un grupo significativo de pacientes tuvo la condición de prefrágiles. ABSTRACTObjective: To determine associated factors to the frailty syndrome (FS) in elderly subjects presenting to the Geriatrics Outpatient Clinic in Hipolito Unanue National Hospital in Lima, Peru, during February 2019. Materials and Methods: This is an observational cross-sectional analytical study. The FRAIL questionnaire was used for diagnosing FS. Both clinical and demographic data were collected, and functional, cognitive, affective, nutritional, and social aspects were assessed in all patients included in the study using the components of the Integrative Geriatric Assessment. Frequency, association, and statistical significance figures were obtained, for comparing the dependent variable (FS) and all independent variables. OR values with 95% CIs were calculated, and p<0.05 was deemed as statistically significant. Results: Out of 180 patients studied, 34 (18.9%) were frail, 100 (55.6%) were pre-frail, and 46 (25.5%) were strong. The multivariate analysis identified factors associated with FS, such as age >80 years (OR= 11.65, p<0.001), cognitive impairment (OR= 9.23; 95% CI: ...

ObjectiveThe primary aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of targeted interventions, administered through comprehensive geriatric assessments on the incidence of hospitalization‐related complications among older adults diagnosed with pulmonary diseases.MethodsA retrospective analysis of medical records encompassed individuals aged 75 years and older who were admitted to a lung center during the period spanning from March to June 2023. These admissions occurred in a context where standardized geriatric management protocols were systematically implemented. This study's scope extended to assessing the prevalence of hospital‐related complications, encompassing delirium and pressure ulcers. A rigorous multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to discern and characterize associated factors.ResultsThe integration of comprehensive geriatric assessment yielded a substantial reduction in in‐hospital complications among the cohort of 118 patients (mean age : 82.1 ± 5.6 years, 44.5% women). The incidence of delirium decreased from 53.3% to 21.8% [odds ratio (OR): 0.246, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.134–0.450, p < 0.001], whereas the presence of pressure ulcers decreased from 43.9% to 25% (OR: 0.395, 95% CI: 0.217–0.715, p < 0.001). The multivariate analysis uncovered independent associations between delirium and variables including community‐acquired pneumonia (OR: 4.417, 95% CI : 1.574–12.395, p = 0.005), severe disability (OR: 2.981, 95% CI: 1.140–7.798, p = 0.026), and hearing loss (OR: 3.219, 95% CI : 1.260–8.170, p = 0.014). Prolonged hospital stays emerged as the sole factor significantly associated with pressure ulcers (OR: 1.071, 95% CI: 1.033–1.109). Furthermore, an intricate bidirectional relationship was evident between delirium and pressure ulcers (OR: 7.158, 95% CI: 2.962–17.300, p < 0.01).ConclusionIn conjunction with its consequent interventions, geriatric evaluation assumes a pivotal role in ameliorating adverse outcomes stemming from hospitalization among older adults afflicted with pulmonary ailments. This role gains particular salience among subpopulations characterized by heightened susceptibility, such as individuals coping with hearing loss and severe disability.
