“…Vale ressaltar que a prevalência de doenças crônicas aumenta com a idade e um número significativo de doenças prevalentes cursam com perda de capacidade aeróbica e muscular, além de maior necessidade de assistência médica e uso de medicações. Idosos com polipatologia também estão mais suscetíveis a hospitalizações e frequentemente evoluem com declínio funcional (Ferrucci & Fabri, 2018;Zazzara et al, 2019).…”

A síndrome da fragilidade é uma condição multifatorial que resulta em vulnerabilidade clínica e mortalidade. Objetivo: Verificar a prevalência de fragilidade e fatores associados entre pessoas idosas usuárias da Unidade Básica de Saúde (UBS). Método: Estudo observacional de corte transversal, com 354 idosos (as) de uma UBS da Bahia. Os dados foram obtidos pelos prontuários contendo o Índice de Vulnerabilidade Clínico-Funcional e dados sociodemográficos, para análise utilizaram-se ferramentas estatísticas com análises descritivas, bivariada e múltipla. Resultados: Os idosos avaliados tinham idade média de 72,4 anos (DP 8,35), em sua maioria autodeclarados negros, mulheres, com baixa escolaridade e residindo apenas com o cônjuge. Houve prevalência de fragilidade em 15,8% dos idosos, pré-fragilidade em 32,2% e robustez em 52%. Constatou-se associação estatisticamente relevante entre fragilidade e dependência para atividades diárias e comorbidades múltiplas. A fragilidade foi mais frequente entre as mulheres, os mais velhos, os com baixa escolaridade, os com coabitação com outros familiares ou só com cônjuge e os com autopercepção de saúde negativa. Conclusão: Reconhecer os fatores associados é indispensável para elaboração de políticas efetivas para pessoas idosas.

Context: Chronic diseases (CD) are defined as symptoms or disabilities, caused by diseases, genetic factors, and injury requiring long-term treatment. Intelligent alarm systems, which collect patient health data and transfer it to a medical server, help track and avoid future incidents. Method: The search terms were “computer network” OR “information systems” OR “wireless technology” OR “decision support systems” AND “chronic disease” OR “chronic disease” in major electronic databases, including Pubmed/Medline, Scopus, Embase, ISI Web of Science, and Cochrane Central. Results: The search resulted in 1275 articles with 11 specific to intelligence-based systems in chronic medical conditions until 08 June 2021. The creation of different access levels for care providers in the system and application customization according to CD conditions were the goals that can be achieved in future research. The human-computer interface (HCI) systems, smart home, and software, such as Fitbit using IoMT to monitor health metrics in people with different CDs, are introduced so far. Conclusions: These systems, if provided on the web and mobile platform, can be accessed at any time and place and are more efficient. Finally, the combination of clinical decision support systems with artificial intelligence has beneficial effects on physician's systems, increases the accuracy in CD diagnosis, and improves the pain management. This intelligent system demonstrates factors influencing back to work and allows identifying high-risk patients and their potential to handle activities of daily living.

“…Demographic aging was happening at an unprecedented rate for any area (Xia et al, 2020). Chronic diseases were more common among older adults (Zazzara et al, 2019), it not only resulted in the decline of physical function but also caused severe economic burden because of their long course, high recurrence rate and cost. China was an aging country with the largest population in the world, the waste of chronic diseases brought to medical resources among older adults deserved more attention (Zhou et al, 2021).…”

To evaluate the current situation and associated factors of informational support for older adults with chronic diseases in transitional care. Study was conducted in five hospitals of five different cities in Jiangsu Province, China. A random cluster sample of 800 older adults with chronic diseases responded to the informational support questionnaire of transitional care survey. Descriptive analysis, t-tests, variance analysis, and stepwise multiple linear regression were used to analyze data. The STROBE statement for observational studies was applied. Total score of ISQTC for older adults with chronic diseases was (44.05 ± 17.21). Marital status, educational level, past occupation, close friends, medical insurance, complications, and exercise habits were significantly correlated with informational support. The level of informational support in transitional care for older adults with chronic diseases was low. Clinical staff should periodically and primarily assess their informational support, help find information resources for those who have low initial informational support, and identify which information they preferred to carry out accurate transitional care.
