| Popis: | Background The impact of frailty on long-term prognosis in patients with heart failure (HF) remains unclear, and there is no simple and objective assessment for it. This study was performed to examine the association between frailty score and clinical outcome in elderly patients hospitalized for HF. Methods and Results A retrospective cohort study was performed with 603 elderly patients with HF (mean age 75 ± 6 years, 378 [62.7%] men). Frailty was measured by a composite of 4 markers combined into a frailty score (possible range 0–12): gait speed, handgrip strength, serum albumin, and activities of daily living status. The patient population was divided into 2 groups with frailty score Conclusions A simple and objective frailty score was associated with health outcome in elderly patients hospitalized for HF. |
