Why the study?
Optimal management of older patients with ACS remains unclear, and the most effective evaluation methods for frailty and malnutrition to predict adverse outcomes are not delineated.
Do frailty and nutritional status predict in-hospital complications in older adults with acute coronary syndrome?
Do frailty and nutritional status predict in-hospital complications in older adults with acute coronary syndrome?
Frailty and nutritional status, assessed via the FRAIL scale and prognostic nutritional index, independently predict in-hospital complications in older adults with acute coronary syndrome.
Frailty and malnutrition assessment may aid in-hospital risk stratification in older ACS patients; leaves open whether interventions targeting these factors improve outcomes.
