- Targeted Geriatric Assessment for Fast-Paced Healthcare Settings: Development, Validity, and Reliability(2018) ALIBERTI, Marlon J. R.; APOLINARIO, Daniel; SUEMOTO, Claudia K.; MELO, Juliana A.; FORTES-FILHO, Sileno Q.; SARAIVA, Marcos D.; TRINDADE, Carolina B.; COVINSKY, Kenneth E.; JACOB-FILHO, WilsonObjectivesTo develop and examine the validity and reliability of a targeted geriatric assessment (TaGA) for busy healthcare settings. DesignThe TaGA was developed through the consensus of experts (Delphi technique), and we investigated its construct validity and reliability in a cross-sectional study. SettingGeriatric day hospital specializing in acute care in Brazil. ParticipantsOlder adults (N = 534) aged 79.5 8.4, 63% female, consecutively admitted to the geriatric day hospital. MeasurementsThe Frailty Index (FI), Physical Frailty Phenotype, and Identification of Seniors at Risk (ISAR) were used to explore the TaGA's validity. External scales were used to investigate the validity of each matched TaGA domain. The interrater reliability and time to complete the instrument were tested in a 53-person subsample. ResultsIn 3 rounds of opinion, experts achieved consensus that the TaGA should include 10 domains (social support, recent hospital admissions, falls, number of medications, basic activities of daily living, cognitive performance, self-rated health, depressive symptoms, nutritional status, gait speed). They arrived at sufficient agreement on specific tools to assess each domain. A single numerical score from 0 to 1 expressed the cumulative deficits across the 10 domains. The TaGA score was highly correlated with the FI (Spearman coefficient = 0.79, 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.76-0.82) and discriminated between frail and nonfrail individuals better than the ISAR (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve 0.84 vs 0.72; P < .001). The TaGA score also had excellent interrater reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.92, 95% CI=0.87-0.95). Mean TaGA administration time was 9.5 +/- 2.2 minutes. ConclusionThe study presents evidence supporting the TaGA's validity and reliability. This instrument may be a practical and efficient approach to screening geriatric syndromes in fast-paced healthcare settings. Future research should investigate its predictive value and effect on care.
- Predicting delirium after hip fracture with a 2-min cognitive screen: prospective cohort study(2016) FORTES-FILHO, Sileno Queiroz; APOLINARIO, Daniel; MELO, Juliana Araujo; SUZUKI, Itiro; SITTA, Maria Do Carmo; LEME, Luiz Eugenio GarcezBackground: although the importance of identifying hip fracture patients with high risk for delirium has been well established, considerable controversy exists over the choice of the screening tool. The most commonly used cognitive screeners take an excessive amount of time and include drawing tasks that can be troublesome for individuals with hip fracture who are invariably lying in bed. Objective: to evaluate the properties of the 10-point Cognitive Screener (10-CS), a 2-min bedside tool, for predicting delirium in older adults with hip fracture. Design: prospective cohort study. Setting: a tertiary referral hospital in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Subjects: non-delirious older adults with hip fracture (n = 147). Methods: the 10-CS was administered as a baseline predictor. The test is composed of three-item temporal orientation (date, month, year), category fluency (animals in 1 min) and three-word recall. Incident delirium has been diagnosed according to the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) that was administered daily from admission to discharge. Results: during hospitalisation, 61 (41.5%) patients developed delirium. The 10-CS presented excellent accuracy for predicting delirium, with an area under ROC curve of 0.83 (95% CI 0.76-0.89). After adjusting for demographic and clinical variables, participants with probable cognitive impairment (score <= 5) were more likely to develop delirium (HR = 7.48; 95% CI 2.2-25.4) compared with participants with a normal score. Lower scores on the 10-CS were also independently associated with a longer length of stay. Conclusions: the 10-CS is an easy-to-use bedside tool with adequate properties to stratify the risk of delirium in older adults with hip fracture.
- A 2-Minute Cognitive Screener for Predicting 1-Year Functional Recovery and Survival in Older Adults After Hip Fracture Repair(2022) FORTES-FILHO, Sileno De Queiroz; ALIBERTI, Marlon Juliano Romero; MELO, Juliana de Araujo; APOLINARIO, Daniel; SITTA, Maria do Carmo; SUZUKI, Itiro; GARCEZ-LEME, Luiz EugenioBackground: Implementing cognitive assessment in older people admitted to hospital with hip fracture-lying in bed, experiencing pain-is challenging. We investigated the value of a quick and easy-to-administer 10-point Cognitive Screener (10-CS) in predicting 1-year functional recovery and survival after hip surgery. Methods: Prospective cohort study comprising 304 older patients (mean age = 80.3 +/- 9.1 years; women = 72%) with hip fracture consecutively admitted to a specialized academic medical center that supports secondary hospitals in Sao Paulo Metropolitan Area, Brazil. The 10-CS, a 2-minute bedside tool including temporal orientation, verbal fluency, and three-word recall, classified patients as having normal cognition, possible cognitive impairment, or probable cognitive impairment on admission. Outcomes were time-torecovery activities of daily living (ADLs; Katz index) and mobility (New Mobility Score), and survival during 1-year after hip surgery. Hazard models, considering death as a competing risk, were used to associate the 10-CS categories with outcomes after adjusting for sociodemographic and clinical measures. Results: On admission, 144 (47%) patients had probable cognitive impairment. Compared to those cognitively normal, patients with probable cognitive impairment presented less postsurgical recovery of ADLs (77% vs 40%; adjusted sub-hazard ratio [HR] = 0.44; 95% confidence interval (CI] = 0.32-0.62) and mobility (50% vs 30%; adjusted sub-HR = 0.52; 95% CI = 0.34-0.79), and higher risk of death (15% vs 40%; adjusted HR = 2.08; 95% CI = 1.03-4.20) over 1-year follow-up. Conclusions: The 10-CS is a strong predictor of functional recovery and survival after hip fracture repair. Cognitive assessment using quick and easy-to-administer screening tools like 10-CS can help clinicians make better decisions and offer tailored care for older patients admitted with hip fracture.
- Decision-making profile in older adults: the influence of cognitive impairment, premorbid intelligence and depressive symptoms(2020) BIELLA, Marina Maria; SIQUEIRA, Alaise Silva Santos de; BORGES, Marcus Kiiti; RIBEIRO, Elyse Soares; MAGALDI, Regina Miksian; BUSSE, Alexandre Leopold; APOLINARIO, Daniel; APRAHAMIAN, IvanObjective: Decision-making (DM) is a component of executive functioning. DM is essential to make proper decisions regarding important life and health issues. DM can be impaired in cognitive disorders among older adults, but current literature is scarce. The aim of this study was to evaluate the DM profile in participants with and without cognitive impairment. Design: Cross-sectional analysis of a cohort study on cognitive aging. Participants: 143 older adults. Setting: University-based memory clinic. Methods: Patients comprised three groups after inclusion and exclusion criteria: healthy controls (n=29), mild cognitive impairment (n=81) and dementia (n=33). Participants were evaluated using an extensive neuropsychological protocol. DM profile was evaluated by the Melbourne Decision Making Questionnaire. Multinomial logistic regression was used to evaluate associations between age, sex, educational level, estimated intelligence quotient (IQ), cognitive disorders, depressive or anxiety symptoms, and the DM profiles. Results: The most prevalent DM profile was the vigilant type, having a prevalence of 64.3%. The vigilant profile also predominated in all three groups. The multinomial logistic regression showed that the avoidance profile (i.e. buck-passing) was associated with a greater presence of dementia (p=0.046) and depressive symptoms (p=0.024), but with less anxious symptoms (p=0.047). The procrastination profile was also associated with depressive symptoms (p=0.048). Finally, the hypervigilant profile was associated with a lower pre-morbid IQ (p=0.007). Conclusion: Older adults with cognitive impairment tended to make more unfavorable choices and have a more dysfunctional DM profile compared to healthy elders.
- The Impact of Frailty on the Relationship between Life-Space Mobility and Quality of Life in Older Adults During the COVID-19 Pandemic(2021) SARAIVA, M. D.; APOLINARIO, D.; AVELINO-SILVA, T. J.; TAVARES, C. De Assis Moura; GATTAS-VERNAGLIA, I. F.; FERNANDES, C. Marques; RABELO, L. M.; YAMAGUTI, S. Tavares Fernandes; KARNAKIS, T.; KALIL-FILHO, R.; JACOB-FILHO, W.; ALIBERTI, Marlon Juliano RomeroBackground The COVID-19 pandemic has led to abrupt restrictions of lile-space mobility. The impact of shelter-in-place orders on older adults' health and well-being is still unclear. Objective To investigate the relationship between life-space mobility and quality of life (QoL) in older adults with and without frailty during the COVID-19 pandemic. Design Multicenter prospective cohort study based on structured telephone interviews. Setting Four geriatric outpatient clinics in the metropolitan area of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Participants 557 community-dwelling adults aged 60 years and older. Measurements The Life-Space Assessment was used to measure community mobility before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, and a previously validated decrease of >= 5 points defined restricted life-space mobility. Frailty was assessed through the FRAIL (fatigue, resistance, ambulation, illnesses, and loss of weight) scale. The impact of shelter-in-place orders on QoL was evaluated with the question << How is the COVID-19 pandemic affecting your QoL?>>, to which participants could respond << not at all >>, << to some extent >>, or << to a great extent >>. We used ordinal logistic regressions to investigate the relationship between restricted life-space mobility and impact on QoL, adjusting our analyses for demographics, frailty, comorbidities, cognition, functionality, loneliness, depression, and anxiety. We explored whether frailty modified the association between life-space mobility and impact on QoL. Results Participants were on average 80 +/- 8 years old, 65% were women, and 33% were frail. The COVID-19 quarantine led to a restriction of community mobility in 79% of participants and affected the QoL for 77% of participants. We found that restricted life-space mobility was associated with impact on QoL in older adults during the pandemic, although frailty modified the magnitude of the association (P-value for interaction=0.03). Frail participants who experienced restricted life-space mobility had twice the odds of reporting an impact on QoL when compared with non-frail individuals, with respective adjusted odds ratios of 4.20 (95% CI=2.36-7.50) and 2.18 (95% CI=1.33-3.58). Conclusion Older adults experienced substantial decreases in life-space mobility during the COVID-19 pandemic, and this unexpected change impacted their QoL. Providers should be particularly watchful for the consequences of abrupt life-space restrictions on frail individuals.
conferenceObject Prognostic effect of enteral nutrition in hospitalized older adults with delirium(2018) CRENITTE, M. R.; APOLINARIO, D.; CAMPORA, F.; CURIATI, J. A.; JACOB-FILHO, W.; AVELINO-SILVA, T.- Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the life-space mobility of older adults with cancer(2021) GATTAS-VERNAGLIA, Isabella Figaro; RAMOS, Paola Teruya; PERINI, Maria Laura Lazaretti; HIGA, Camila Suemi; APOLINARIO, Daniel; ALIBERTI, Marlon Juliano Romero; KANAJI, Ana Lumi; ADRIAZOLA, Izabela Ono; SARAIVA, Marcos Daniel; AVELINO-SILVA, Thiago Junqueira; TAVARES, Caio de Assis Moura; JACOB-FILHO, Wilson; KARNAKIS, Theodora
- COVID-19 is not over and age is not enough: Using frailty for prognostication in hospitalized patients(2021) ALIBERTI, Marlon Juliano Romero; SZLEJF, Claudia; AVELINO-SILVA, Vivian I.; SUEMOTO, Claudia Kimie; APOLINARIO, Daniel; DIAS, Murilo Bacchini; GARCEZ, Flavia Barreto; TRINDADE, Carolina B.; AMARAL, Jose Renato das Gracas; MELO, Leonardo Rabelo de; AGUIAR, Renata Cunha de; COELHO, Paulo Henrique Lazzaris; HOJAIJ, Naira Hossepian Salles de Lima; SARAIVA, Marcos Daniel; SILVA, Natalia Oliveira Trajano da; JACOB-FILHO, Wilson; AVELINO-SILVA, Thiago J.Background Frailty screening using the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) has been proposed to guide resource allocation in acute care settings during the pandemic. However, the association between frailty and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) prognosis remains unclear. Objectives To investigate the association between frailty and mortality over 6 months in middle-aged and older patients hospitalized with COVID-19 and the association between acute morbidity severity and mortality across frailty strata. Design Observational cohort study. Setting Large academic medical center in Brazil. Participants A total of 1830 patients aged >= 50 years hospitalized with COVID-19 (March-July 2020). Measurements We screened baseline frailty using the CFS (1-9) and classified patients as fit to managing well (1-3), vulnerable (4), mildly (5), moderately (6), or severely frail to terminally ill (7-9). We also computed a frailty index (0-1; frail >0.25), a well-known frailty measure. We used Cox proportional hazards models to estimate the association between frailty and time to death within 30 days and 6 months of admission. We also examined whether frailty identified different mortality risk levels within strata of similar age and acute morbidity as measured by the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score. Results Median age was 66 years, 58% were male, and 27% were frail to some degree. Compared with fit-to-managing-well patients, the adjusted hazard ratios (95% confidence interval [CI]) for 30-day and 6-month mortality were, respectively, 1.4 (1.1-1.7) and 1.4 (1.1-1.7) for vulnerable patients; 1.5 (1.1-1.9) and 1.5 (1.1-1.8) for mild frailty; 1.8 (1.4-2.3) and 1.9 (1.5-2.4) for moderate frailty; and 2.1 (1.6-2.7) and 2.3 (1.8-2.9) for severe frailty to terminally ill. The CFS achieved outstanding accuracy to identify frailty compared with the Frailty Index (area under the curve = 0.94; 95% CI = 0.93-0.95) and predicted different mortality risks within age and acute morbidity groups. Conclusions Our results encourage the use of frailty, alongside measures of acute morbidity, to guide clinicians in prognostication and resource allocation in hospitalized patients with COVID-19.
- 10-Minute Targeted Geriatric Assessment Predicts Disability and Hospitalization in Fast-Paced Acute Care Settings(2019) ALIBERTI, Marlon J. R.; COVINSKY, Kenneth E.; APOLINARIO, Daniel; SMITH, Alexander K.; LEE, Sei J.; FORTES-FILHO, Sileno Q.; MELO, Juliana A.; SOUZA, Natalia P. S.; AVELINO-SILVA, Thiago J.; JACOB-FILHO, WilsonBackground: Limited time and resources hinder the use of comprehensive geriatric assessment in acute contexts. We investigated the predictive value of a 10-minute targeted geriatric assessment (10-TaGA) for adverse outcomes over 6 months among acutely ill older outpatients. Methods: Prospective study comprising 819 acutely ill outpatients (79.2 +/- 8.4 years; 63% women) in need of intensive management (eg, intravenous therapy, laboratory test, radiology) to avoid hospitalization. The 10-TaGA provided a validated measure of cumulative deficits. Previously established 10-TaGA cutoffs defined low (0-0.29), medium (0.30-0.39), and high (0.40-1) risks. To estimate whether 10-TaGA predicts new dependence in activities of daily living and hospitalization over the next 6 months, we used hazard models (considering death as competing risk) adjusted for standard risk factors (sociodemographic factors, Charlson comorbidity index, and physician estimates of risk). Differences among areas under receiver operating characteristic curves (AUROC) examined whether 10-TaGA improves outcome discrimination when added to standard risk factors. Results: Medium- and high-risk patients, according to 10-TaGA, presented a higher incidence of new activities of daily living dependence (21% vs 7%, adjusted subhazard ratio [aHR] = 2.4, 95% CI = 1.3-4.5; 40% vs 7%, aHR = 5.0, 95% CI = 2.8-8.7, respectively) and hospitalization (27% vs 13%, aHR = 2.0, 95% CI = 1.2-3.3; 37% vs 13%, aHR = 2.9, 95% CI = 1.8-4.6, respectively) than low-risk patients. The 10-TaGA remarkably improved the discrimination of models that incorporated standard risk factors to predict new activities of daily living dependence (AUROC = 0.76 vs 0.71, p <.001) and hospitalization (AUROC = 0.71 vs 0.68, p <.001). Conclusions: The 10-TaGA is a practical and efficient comprehensive geriatric assessment tool that improves the prediction of adverse outcomes among acutely ill older outpatients.
