FRAILTY AND ASSOCIATED FACTORS AMONG OLDER ADULTS HOSPITALIZED WITH SEVERE COMMUNITY-ACQUIRED PNEUMONIA
Nội dung chính của bài viết
Tóm tắt
Objectives: To determine the prevalence of frailty and its associated factors among older adults hospitalized with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 117 older adults admitted with pneumonia. Baseline characteristics, comorbidities, and functional status were collected. Frailty was assessed using the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) and categorized into frail vs. non-frail. Results: Patients had a mean age of 79.5 ± 10.9 years, and 42.7% were female. Hypertension (67.5%), diabetes (28.2%), and heart failure (21.4%) were the most common comorbidities; 40.2% had ≥ 2 comorbidities. Frailty was highly prevalent, affecting 88.0% of participants. In logistic regression, female sex was an independent predictor of frailty (OR = 3.31; 95%CI: 1.13 - 9.64; p = 0.029). Conclusion: Frailty was highly prevalent and was independently associated with female sex among older adults hospitalized with CAP.
