Fragilidad como predictor de episodios adversos en estudios epidemiológicos: revisión de la literatura
چکیده انگلیسی
Several epidemiological studies have analyzed the association between frailty status and adverse geriatric health outcomes, with there being a clear relationship being demonstrated in mortality, disability, mobility loss, institutionalization and falls. However, different studies have evaluated different number of these adverse events, with different criteria, and with different follow-up periods. As a result of this relationship, the objective of geriatric medicine must not only be the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases based on multidisciplinary team work and use of geriatric units according to functional status of patients, but the detection, prevention and treatment of frailty. Frailty must be considered as a pre-disability state that can be prevented and treated to delay its progression towards disability, institutionalization, and death. The characterization of frailty status can also help other medical specialties to stratify the risk of adverse health outcomes in oncology treatments, surgical interventions, or diagnostic procedures.
