Abstract

Objectives: To describe the feasibility of virtual assessments of physical frailty in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients using a modified Fried Frailty Index (mFFI) and Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), and to describe the prevalence of frailty 12-months post-transplant using virtual assessment.

Methods: Virtual assessments were performed using an e-questionnaire and a video-call for functional tests. Feasibility variables included: internet quality, video-call duration, presence of a companion, and adverse events.

Results: 34 SOT recipients, median age 62 (46-67), 76% lung recipients, 47% female, were included. The video-call had a median duration of 12 minutes (10-15 min), without adverse events. A companion was present in 23 (68%) video-call assessments. Fifteen SOT recipients (44%) were classified as pre-frail by the mFFI, and none were frail. Three participants (8.8%) were classified as frail using the SPPB.

Conclusion: Virtual frailty assessments can be used as an alternative to in-person assessments in SOT recipients.

实体器官移植受者身体虚弱虚拟评估的可行性:单中心观察性研究。
目的:描述使用改进的Fried虚弱指数(mFFI)和短物理性能电池(SPPB)对实体器官移植(SOT)受者身体虚弱进行虚拟评估的可行性,并使用虚拟评估来描述移植后12个月虚弱的患病率。方法:采用电子问卷和视频通话进行功能测试的虚拟评估。可行性变量包括:网络质量、视频通话时长、陪伴者的存在和不良事件。结果:纳入34例SOT受体,中位年龄62岁(46-67岁),76%为肺受体,47%为女性。视频通话的中位持续时间为12分钟(10-15分钟),无不良事件发生。在23次(68%)视频通话评估中有同伴在场。15名SOT接受者(44%)被mFFI归类为虚弱前期,没有人虚弱。3名参与者(8.8%)被SPPB分类为体弱。结论:虚拟虚弱评估可作为SOT受者面对面评估的替代方法。
