Cardiovascular Disease, Frailty, and Multimorbidity as Predictors of Adverse Outcomes in Older Adults Admitted to Acute Geriatric Settings: A Secondary Analysis

Puntos clave

The aim is to evaluate how frailty, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and multimorbidity predict adverse outcomes in older adults admitted to acute geriatric settings.
Conducted a secondary analysis of data from older adults admitted to geriatric units.
Assessed levels of frailty and multimorbidity.
Analyzed rehospitalisation and mortality rates as outcomes.
Frailty and CVD were significantly associated with increased rehospitalisation rates.
Multimorbidity correlated with higher mortality rates.
Routine assessments could help identify high-risk older adults.

Resumen

Frailty, CVD, and multimorbidity are significant predictors of rehospitalisation and mortality in older adults. These results underscore the importance of routine frailty and multimorbidity assessments during hospitalisation to identify high-risk individuals and inform clinical decision-making.
