This study examined how transitions in frailty items over 1 year and the baseline components of a comprehensive geriatric assessment were associated with improvements in frailty at a 2-year follow-up in a sample of older patients.This was a single-center prospective observational study of older patients aged 65 years and over with chronic diseases (n = 103), who were followed through a hospital-based program over 2 years. Frailty was evaluated via the modified Fried Frailty Index and a comprehensive geriatric assessment.We noted significant improvements in weight loss (P = .016) and self-reported exhaustion (P = .006), and a less decrease in grip strength (P = .009) at the 1-year follow-up. Furthermore, baseline cerebral vascular accident diagnosis (P = .022), high polypharmacy (P = .037), a higher Geriatric Depression Scale score (P = .033), and a lower Mini Nutritional Assessment score (P = .039) were significantly associated with improved frailty at the 2-year follow-up. Furthermore, improvement in self-reported exhaustion (odds ratio [OR]: 4.7, 1.4-16.1, P = .014) and physical activity (OR: 3.8, 1.0-13.7, P = .046), and a less decrease in grip strength (OR: 4.0, 1.3-12.5, P = .017) at the 1-year follow-up were significantly associated with improved frailty at the 2-year follow-up.Self-reported exhaustion, physical activity, and grip strength are easy, quick, and feasible screening tests for improvements in frailty in clinical practice. |
