conferenceObject The Peguero-Lo Presti criteria has the highest diagnostic accuracy for the diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy in the elderly(2020) TAVARES, C. A. M.; SAMESIMA, N.; HAJJAR, L. A.; GODOY, L. C.; HIRANO, E. M. P.; FACIN, M.; JACOB FILHO, W.; FARKOUH, M. E.; PASTORE, C. A.- 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.

- Usefulness of ECG criteria to rule out left ventricular hypertrophy in older individuals with true left bundle branch block: an observational study(2021) TAVARES, Caio Assis Moura; SAMESIMA, Nelson; NETO, Felippe Lazar; HAJJAR, Ludhmila Abrahao; GODOY, Lucas C.; PADRAO, Eduardo Messias Hirano; FACIN, Mirella; FILHO, Wilson Jacob; FARKOUH, Michael E.; PASTORE, Carlos AlbertoBackground Advanced age is associated with both left bundle branch block (LBBB) and hypertension and the usefulness of ECG criteria to detect left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients with LBBB is still unclear. The diagnostic performance and clinical applicability of ECG-based LVH criteria in patients with LBBB defined by stricter ECG criteria is unknown. The aim of this study was to compare diagnostic accuracy and clinical utility of ECG criteria in patients with advanced age and strict LBBB criteria. Methods Retrospective single-center study conducted from Jan/2017 to Mar/2018. Patients undergoing both ECG and echocardiogram examinations were included. Ten criteria for ECG-based LVH were compared using LVH defined by the echocardiogram as the gold standard. Sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, likelihood ratios, AUC, and the Brier score were used to compare diagnostic performance and a decision curve analysis was performed. Results From 4621 screened patients, 68 were included, median age was 78.4 years, (IQR 73.3-83.4), 73.5% with hypertension. All ECG criteria failed to provide accurate discrimination of LVH with AUC range between 0.54 and 0.67, and no ECG criteria had a balanced tradeoff between sensitivity and specificity. No ECG criteria consistently improved the net benefit compared to the strategy of performing routine echocardiogram in all patients in the decision curve analysis within the 10-60% probability threshold range. Conclusion ECG-based criteria for LVH in patients with advanced age and true LBBB lack diagnostic accuracy or clinical usefulness and should not be routinely assessed.

- Clinical applicability and diagnostic performance of electrocardiographic criteria for left ventricular hypertrophy diagnosis in older adults(2021) TAVARES, Caio de Assis Moura; SAMESIMA, Nelson; HAJJAR, Ludhmila Abrahao; GODOY, Lucas C.; PADRAO, Eduardo Messias Hirano; LAZAR NETO, Felippe; FACIN, Mirella; JACOB-FILHO, Wilson; FARKOUH, Michael E.; PASTORE, Carlos AlbertoRecently, a new ECG criterion, the Peguero-Lo Presti (PLP), improved overall accuracy in the diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH)-compared to traditional ECG criteria, but with few patients with advanced age. We analyzed patients with older age and examined which ECG criteria would have better overall performance. A total of 592 patients were included (83.1% with hypertension, mean age of 77.5 years) and the PLP criterion was compared against Cornell voltage (CV), Sokolow-Lyon voltage (SL) and Romhilt-Estes criteria (cutoffs of 4 and 5 points, RE4 and RE5, respectively) using LVH defined by the echocardiogram as the gold standard. The PLP had higher AUC than the CV, RE and SL (respectively, 0.70 vs 0.66 vs 0.64 vs 0.67), increased sensitivity compared with the SL, CV and RE5 (respectively, 51.9% [95% CI 45.4-58.3%] vs 28.2% [95% CI 22.6-34.4%], p<0.0001; vs 35.3% [95% CI 29.2-41.7%], p<0.0001; vs 44.4% [95% CI 38.0-50.9%], p=0.042), highest F1 score (58.3%) and net benefit for most of the 20-60% threshold range in the decision curve analysis. Overall, despite the best diagnostic performance in older patients, the PLP criterion cannot rule out LVH consistently but can potentially be used to guide clinical decision for echocardiogram ordering in low-resource settings.
