Objectives: To describe trends and identify factors associated with place of death among individuals with Huntington's disease (HD).

Design: Retrospective cohort of deceased individuals with HD from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics.

Setting and participants: A total of 13,350 individuals with HD who died in the United States between 2009 and 2019.

Methods: We analyzed place of death, categorized as long-term care (LTC) facility, home, hospital, hospice facility, and other locations. Trends in the places of death from 2009 to 2019 were assessed using linear regression models. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to identify sociodemographic factors associated with place of death.

Results: From 2009 to 2019, the greatest proportion of deaths occurred in LTC facilities (48.4%). There was a significantly decreasing trend in the proportion of deaths occurring in LTC facilities (53.5%-43.9%, P < .001). A greater proportion of deaths in rural areas occurred in LTC facilities compared with all other locations (P < .001 for all comparisons). In the multivariate model, age younger than 44 years, Black race, Hispanic ethnicity, some college education or greater, and being married were associated with significantly lower odds of dying in a LTC facility compared with home.

Conclusions and implications: Despite a decreasing trend, LTC facilities remain a cornerstone of support for individuals with HD, particularly in rural areas. These results suggest multiple avenues for research to improve accessibility and quality of care for individuals with late stages of HD. Future studies are needed to further understand the impact of rurality and lack of support in the home on the accessibility and quality of LTC and hospice care for individuals with HD. These results may also help inform interventions focused on training and staff education within LTC and hospice facilities to better manage HD progression and symptoms.

目的:描述亨廷顿氏病(HD)患者的死亡趋势并确定与死亡地点相关的因素:描述亨廷顿氏病(Huntington's disease,HD)患者的死亡趋势并确定与死亡地点相关的因素:设计:美国疾病控制和预防中心国家卫生统计中心对已故亨廷顿氏症患者进行回顾性队列研究:2009年至2019年期间在美国死亡的13350名HD患者:我们分析了死亡地点,分为长期护理(LTC)机构、家庭、医院、临终关怀机构和其他地点。使用线性回归模型评估了 2009 年至 2019 年死亡地点的变化趋势。多变量逻辑回归模型用于确定与死亡地点相关的社会人口因素:从 2009 年到 2019 年,最大比例的死亡发生在长期护理机构(48.4%)。发生在 LTC 机构中的死亡比例呈明显下降趋势(53.5%-43.9%,P 结论和影响:尽管呈下降趋势,但长期护理机构仍然是支持 HD 患者的基石,尤其是在农村地区。这些结果提出了多种研究途径,以改善 HD 晚期患者获得护理的便利性和护理质量。未来的研究需要进一步了解农村地区和缺乏家庭支持对 HD 患者获得长期护理和临终关怀的可及性和质量的影响。这些研究结果还有助于为干预措施提供依据,干预措施的重点是在长期护理中心和安宁疗护机构内对员工进行培训和教育,以便更好地控制 HD 的病情发展和症状。

Navigating Dilemmas on Advance Euthanasia Directives of Patients with Advanced Dementia 为晚期痴呆症患者提前安乐死指令的困境导航。
IF 4.2 2区 医学 Q2 GERIATRICS & GERONTOLOGY Pub Date : 2024-10-10 DOI: 10.1016/j.jamda.2024.105300

Objectives

This study revisited the complexities faced by physicians in meeting due care criteria for euthanasia in patients with advanced dementia in The Netherlands. Despite increasing cases and legal provisions for advance euthanasia directives (AEDs), physicians encounter challenges with ethical issues, including patient communication and assessing unbearable suffering in patients who lack decisional capacity. This study examines the perspectives of elderly care physicians (ECPs), support and consultation on euthanasia in The Netherlands (SCEN) physicians, and euthanasia expertise center (EEC) physicians.

Design

A multimethod descriptive study using a questionnaire with both closed and open-ended questions.

Setting and Participants

This study explores the complexities faced by physicians in handling AED-based euthanasia requests of patients with advanced dementia.

Methods

Baseline characteristics of physician subgroups were analyzed descriptively, and subgroup variations were assessed using univariate regression. Qualitative data underwent thematic content analysis.

Results

With a 13.8% response rate, the study included 290 participants: 108 ECPs, 188 SCEN physicians, and 53 EEC physicians. Some had combined roles: ECP and SCEN physicians (n = 29), ECP and EEC physician (n = 1), SCEN physicians and EEC physicians (n = 17), and ECP, SCEN physicians, and EEC physicians (n = 6). ECPs received most AED-based euthanasia requests but only 7 EEC physicians and 1 SCEN physician performed euthanasia. All subgroups stressed the importance of patient communication. ECPs found euthanasia ethically justifiable only when communication was possible, highlighting the need to understand current euthanasia wishes and verify unbearable suffering. Effective communication was deemed crucial for confirming request relevance, identifying obstacles, involving patients, fostering trust, and alleviating fears. Physicians generally agreed that unbearable suffering could be assessed through patient expressions, observations, and family input.

Conclusions and Implications

Despite receiving AED-based euthanasia requests, few physicians proceeded. Subgroup analysis showed varying views, with ECPs emphasizing communication and EEC physicians focusing on determining unbearable suffering. All subgroups highlighted the importance of current patient expressions and involvement in the decision-making process.
研究目的本研究重新审视了荷兰医生在满足对晚期痴呆症患者实施安乐死的适当护理标准时所面临的复杂问题。尽管预先安乐死指令(AEDs)的案例和法律规定越来越多,但医生在伦理问题上仍面临挑战,包括与患者沟通以及评估缺乏决定能力的患者无法忍受的痛苦。本研究探讨了老年护理医师(ECPs)、荷兰安乐死支持和咨询医师(SCEN)以及安乐死专家中心(EEC)医师的观点:设计:多方法描述性研究,采用封闭式和开放式问题的调查问卷:本研究探讨了医生在处理晚期痴呆症患者基于 AED 的安乐死请求时所面临的复杂问题:对医生亚组的基线特征进行了描述性分析,并使用单变量回归法评估了亚组的差异。对定性数据进行了主题内容分析:该研究的回复率为 13.8%,共有 290 人参与:108 名 ECP、188 名 SCEN 医生和 53 名 EEC 医生。其中一些人还兼任多种角色:ECP 和 SCEN 医生(n = 29),ECP 和 EEC 医生(n = 1),SCEN 医生和 EEC 医生(n = 17),以及 ECP、SCEN 医生和 EEC 医生(n = 6)。ECP 收到了大多数基于 AED 的安乐死请求,但只有 7 名 EEC 医生和 1 名 SCEN 医生实施了安乐死。所有分组都强调了与患者沟通的重要性。ECPs 认为,只有在可以进行沟通的情况下,安乐死在伦理上才是合理的,并强调需要了解当前的安乐死意愿并核实无法忍受的痛苦。有效的沟通被认为是确认请求相关性、识别障碍、让患者参与进来、培养信任和减轻恐惧的关键。医生们普遍认为,无法忍受的痛苦可以通过患者的表达、观察和家属的意见来评估:尽管收到了基于除颤器的安乐死请求,但很少有医生继续实施。分组分析显示了不同的观点,ECP 强调沟通,而 EEC 医生则侧重于确定无法忍受的痛苦。所有分组都强调了当前患者表达和参与决策过程的重要性。

The Effect of Sleep Duration and Excessive Daytime Sleepiness on All-Cause Dementia: A Longitudinal Analysis from the Hunter Community Study 睡眠时间和白天过度嗜睡对全因痴呆症的影响:亨特社区研究的纵向分析
IF 4.2 2区 医学 Q2 GERIATRICS & GERONTOLOGY Pub Date : 2024-10-10 DOI: 10.1016/j.jamda.2024.105299

Objectives

It has been proposed that abnormal sleep duration and excessive daytime sleepiness might be risk factors for dementia. This study assessed the interaction between sleep duration and excessive daytime sleepiness, and the effect of sleep duration in the presence or absence of excessive daytime sleepiness on dementia risk in community-dwelling older adults.

Design

A longitudinal study.

Setting and Participants

Data from 2187 community-dwelling participants with mean age 70 years from the Hunter Community Study were included in this study.

Methods

Participants were classified as participants with long sleep duration (slept >8 hours per night), recommended sleep duration (7–8 hours) as per the National Sleep Foundation, or short sleep duration (slept <7 hours per night). The Berlin Questionnaire was used to identify excessive daytime sleepiness. Dementia was defined as per International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision codes. To calculate all-cause dementia risk, the Fine-Gray sub-distribution hazard model was computed with death as a competing risk.

Results

Over a mean follow-up of 6 years, 64 participants developed dementia and 154 deaths were identified. The average onset of dementia was 5.4 years. Long sleep duration was associated with increased dementia risk only in the presence of excessive daytime sleepiness (adjusted hazard ratio, 2.86; 95% confidence interval 1.03–7.91). A statistically significant interaction was found between excessive daytime sleepiness and sleep duration for all-cause dementia.

Conclusions and Implications

Long sleep duration with excessive daytime sleepiness was associated with increased risk of all-cause dementia. This suggests the importance of promoting awareness of healthy sleep and the possible role of nurturing good quantity and quality sleep in reducing the risk of dementia.
研究目的有人提出,睡眠时间异常和白天过度嗜睡可能是痴呆症的风险因素。本研究评估了睡眠时间与白天过度嗜睡之间的相互作用,以及在存在或不存在白天过度嗜睡的情况下睡眠时间对社区老年人痴呆症风险的影响:设计:纵向研究:本研究纳入了亨特社区研究中平均年龄为70岁的2187名社区居民的数据:根据入院和死亡数据,将参与者分为睡眠时间长的参与者(每晚睡眠时间大于8小时)、美国国家睡眠基金会推荐的睡眠时间(7-8小时)或睡眠时间短的参与者(每晚睡眠时间小于8小时)。为了计算全因痴呆症风险,计算了Fine-Gray子分布危险模型,并将死亡作为竞争风险:结果:在平均 6 年的随访期间,64 名参与者患上痴呆症,154 人死亡。痴呆症的平均发病时间为 5.4 年。只有在白天过度嗜睡的情况下,睡眠时间长才与痴呆症风险增加有关(调整后危险比为 2.86;95% 置信区间为 1.03-7.91)。就全因痴呆症而言,白天过度嗜睡与睡眠时间之间存在统计学意义上的交互作用:睡眠时间长且白天过度嗜睡与痴呆症风险增加有关。这表明,提高人们对健康睡眠的认识非常重要,培养良好的睡眠质量和数量对降低痴呆症的发病风险可能具有重要作用。

Depressive Signs and Daily Life of Residents When Relocating from a Regular to an Innovative Nursing Home 从普通养老院搬迁到创新型养老院时,院友的抑郁症状和日常生活。
IF 4.2 2区 医学 Q2 GERIATRICS & GERONTOLOGY Pub Date : 2024-10-10 DOI: 10.1016/j.jamda.2024.105298

Objectives

In this study, we examine how residents are affected by moving from a regular nursing home into an innovative living arrangement. In the past decade, a culture change has taken place, leading to rapid developments of innovative living arrangements that aim to change the physical, social, and organizational environment to better suit the needs of older adults needing 24-hour care. This has inevitably led to more group relocations in long-term care. Insight into the change in residents when relocating is lacking.

Design

An observational longitudinal study.

Setting and Participants

Four Dutch care organizations in which 5 relocations took place from a regular to an innovative living arrangement. Residents (N = 97) requiring 24-hour care who were relocated from a regular nursing home to an innovative living arrangement were included.

Methods

Data were collected 1 month before, 2 weeks after, and 6 months after relocating. Depressive signs and symptoms, cognitive functioning, and dependence in activities of daily living were measured using questionnaires. Furthermore, the daily lives of the residents were assessed using ecological momentary assessments.

Results

Overall, no long-term change in depressive signs and symptoms, cognitive functioning, and dependence in activities of daily living was found when relocating. Furthermore, the daily life of residents was not different 6 months after moving. Relocating was accompanied by a significant short-term increase in depressive signs and symptoms in 2 out of 4 locations (P < .001).

Conclusions and Implications

This study shows that relocating to an innovative living arrangement does not lead to long-term changes in residents. There are indications that there might be a short-term change in depressive signs and symptoms that could be prevented by considering the approach and context. More research is needed into the changes in the physical, social, and organizational environment that are necessary for a positive impact on the daily lives of residents.
研究目的在本研究中,我们将探讨从普通疗养院转入创新型生活安排后,入住者会受到哪些影响。在过去的十年中,养老院文化发生了变化,创新型养老院迅速发展,旨在改变物理、社会和组织环境,以更好地满足需要 24 小时护理的老年人的需求。这不可避免地导致了更多长期护理机构的集体搬迁。目前还缺乏对搬迁时住院者变化的深入了解:设计:观察性纵向研究:环境和参与者:荷兰四家护理机构,其中有五次从常规生活安排搬迁到创新生活安排。研究对象包括从普通疗养院搬迁到创新生活安排的需要 24 小时护理的住院者(97 人):方法:分别在搬迁前 1 个月、搬迁后 2 周和搬迁后 6 个月收集数据。方法:在搬迁前 1 个月和搬迁后 2 周以及搬迁后 6 个月收集数据,使用问卷调查法测量抑郁症状、认知功能和日常生活依赖性。此外,还使用生态学瞬间评估对居民的日常生活进行了评估:总体而言,搬迁后抑郁症状、认知功能和日常生活依赖性没有发生长期变化。此外,搬迁 6 个月后,居民的日常生活也没有发生变化。在搬迁的同时,4 个地点中有 2 个地点的抑郁症状和体征会在短期内显著增加(P < .001):本研究表明,搬迁到创新型疗养院并不会导致入住者发生长期变化。有迹象表明,抑郁症状可能会发生短期变化,而这种变化是可以通过考虑方法和环境来预防的。要想对居民的日常生活产生积极影响,还需要对物理、社会和组织环境的变化进行更多研究。

Effectiveness of Horticultural Therapy in Older Adults without Dementia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis 园艺疗法对无痴呆症老年人的疗效:系统回顾与元分析》。
IF 4.2 2区 医学 Q2 GERIATRICS & GERONTOLOGY Pub Date : 2024-10-09 DOI: 10.1016/j.jamda.2024.105296

Objectives

Horticultural therapy (HT) has garnered growing interest because of its psychological and physical benefits. Previous reviews have demonstrated its therapeutic effects in older adults with cognitive impairment or mental illnesses. However, its impact on older adults without dementia has not been synthesized. This systematic review studied the effects of HT on the physical and psychosocial functions of older adults without dementia.

Design

Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Settings and Participants

Older adults without dementia ≥60 years of age.

Methods

Randomized controlled trials and quasi-experimental studies were systematically searched in 7 databases. The Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool version 2 and the Risk of Bias in Non-randomized Studies of Interventions tool were used to assess study quality. A random-effects meta-analysis with Hedges' g was conducted to estimate the effect size, and Cochran's Q test and I2 were used to evaluate heterogeneity. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation approach was applied to determine the overall quality of evidence.

Results

Twenty-seven studies, including 11 randomized controlled trials and 16 quasi-experimental studies comprising 1629 older adults from 11 countries, were included. HT tended to improve psychosocial outcomes in older adults, particularly in terms of self-efficacy (g = 0.52; 95% CI, 0.26-0.79) and self-esteem (g = 0.52; 95% CI, 0.26-0.79). In terms of physical benefits, HT appeared to have a greater impact on aerobic endurance, with a large effect size (g = 0.84; 95% CI, 0.54-1.15), compared to agility, which showed a smaller effect size (g = 0.45; 95% CI, −0.90 to −0.01).

Conclusions and Implications

This review demonstrated that HT could provide psychosocial and physical benefits to older adults without dementia. These benefits include slight improvements in self-efficacy, self-esteem, aerobic endurance, and agility. However, the certainty of this evidence is very low due to the quasi-experimental design and potential bias in outcome measurements. Further research with well-designed clinical trials is necessary to confirm its effectiveness.
目的:园艺疗法(Horticultural therapy,HT)因其对心理和身体的益处而日益受到关注。以往的研究表明,园艺疗法对患有认知障碍或精神疾病的老年人有治疗作用。然而,其对未患痴呆症的老年人的影响尚未得到综合研究。本系统性综述研究了高温热疗对无痴呆症的老年人的身体和社会心理功能的影响:设计:系统综述和荟萃分析:方法:随机对照试验和准对照试验:在 7 个数据库中系统检索了随机对照试验和准实验研究。采用 Cochrane 第 2 版偏倚风险工具和非随机干预研究偏倚风险工具评估研究质量。使用 Hedges'g 进行随机效应荟萃分析以估计效应大小,并使用 Cochran's Q 检验和 I2 评估异质性。采用建议分级评估、发展和评价方法确定证据的总体质量:共纳入 27 项研究,包括 11 项随机对照试验和 16 项准实验研究,涉及 11 个国家的 1629 名老年人。高温热疗倾向于改善老年人的社会心理结果,尤其是自我效能(g = 0.52;95% CI,0.26-0.79)和自尊(g = 0.52;95% CI,0.26-0.79)。就对身体的益处而言,有氧运动似乎对有氧耐力的影响更大,其效应大小较大(g = 0.84;95% CI,0.54-1.15),相比之下,敏捷性的效应大小较小(g = 0.45;95% CI,-0.90 至-0.01):本综述表明,高温热疗可为没有痴呆症的老年人带来心理和身体上的益处。这些益处包括自我效能感、自尊、有氧耐力和灵活性的轻微改善。然而,由于采用的是准实验设计,结果测量可能存在偏差,因此证据的确定性很低。有必要通过设计良好的临床试验进行进一步研究,以确认其有效性。

A New Hospital-At-Home Model for Integrated Geriatric Care: Data from a Preliminary Italian Experience 医院到家庭的老年综合护理新模式:来自意大利初步经验的数据。
IF 4.2 2区 医学 Q2 GERIATRICS & GERONTOLOGY Pub Date : 2024-10-05 DOI: 10.1016/j.jamda.2024.105295

Objective

Hospital-at-home (HaH) has emerged as an alternative to conventional in-hospital care in older adults, possibly reducing hospital admissions and related complications. This study aimed to describe the characteristics and outcomes of patients referred to “Gruppo di Intervento Rapido Ospedale-Territorio” (GIROT), a HaH service based on comprehensive geriatric assessment, developed in Florence, Italy, during the postpandemic period.

Design

Retrospective longitudinal study.

Setting and Participants

GIROT provided home-based care to patients with acute or exacerbated chronic diseases and a high risk of hospital-related complications (ie, patients with moderate-to-severe disability and/or dementia), referred from primary care, emergency departments, or in-hospital units.

Methods

All-cause mortality and hospitalization rates were assessed at 1, 3, and 6 months, and predictors of 6-month mortality were investigated.

Results

Among 391 patients (mean age, 88.4 years; 62.4% female) referred from emergency departments (58.6%), primary care (27.9%), and acute medical units (13.6%), the main diagnoses were respiratory failure (28.4%), acute heart failure (25.3%), and delirium (13.6%). Patients referred from primary care were older and showed a higher prevalence of severe disability and hypomobility. After 1, 3, and 6 months, mortality rates were 34.5%, 45.6%, and 53.8%, and hospitalization rates 7.2%, 21.5%, and 37.9%, respectively. Predictors of 6-month mortality included age [odds ratio (OR), 1.039], severe disability (OR, 3.446), impossible/assisted walking (OR, 4.450) and referral from primary care (OR, 2.066). High global satisfaction with the service was reported.

Conclusions and Implications

The GIROT model may help expanding acute health care capacity for older adults at high risk of hospital-related complications. Customized care plans are needed in patients with severe disability/hypomobility, considering also simultaneous palliative care.

Comparative Effectiveness and Safety of Direct Oral Anticoagulants vs Warfarin among Nursing Home Residents with Atrial Fibrillation: A Retrospective Cohort Study 直接口服抗凝药与华法林在患有心房颤动的养老院居民中的有效性和安全性比较:回顾性队列研究
IF 4.2 2区 医学 Q2 GERIATRICS & GERONTOLOGY Pub Date : 2024-10-04 DOI: 10.1016/j.jamda.2024.105294

Objective

Residents of nursing homes are usually excluded from clinical trials, including trials to assess treatments for common conditions such as nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). We aimed to quantify the real-world comparative safety and effectiveness of direct-acting oral anticoagulants (DOACs) vs warfarin among nursing home residents with NVAF.

Design

Retrospective cohort study using 100% national Minimum Data Set and linked Medicare claims from January 2011 through December 2018.

Setting and Participants

Long-term care nursing home residents aged ≥66 years enrolled in fee-for-service Medicare. We included individuals diagnosed with NVAF newly initiating oral anticoagulants.

Methods

We identified exposure to DOACs (apixaban, dabigatran, rivaroxaban, and edoxaban) vs warfarin. Outcomes were hospitalization for ischemic stroke/systemic embolism, major bleeding, pneumonia (negative control outcome), and all-cause death. We used inverse probability of treatment weighting competing risk regression models for clinical outcomes and Cox proportional hazards regression for all-cause death.

Results

Of 38,983 individuals newly initiating anticoagulants, 19,366 (49.7%) initiated DOACs and 19,617 (50.3%) initiated warfarin. In the inverse probability of treatment weighting analysis, compared with warfarin, there was no statistically significant association between DOAC use and ischemic stroke/systemic embolism [4.5 vs 4.7 events per 100 person-years; adjusted hazard ratio (aHR), 0.94; 95% CI, 0.84–1.05] or major bleeding (12.6 vs 12.4 events per 100 person-years; aHR, 1.03; 95% CI, 0.96–1.10). DOACs use was associated with a modest but statistically significant lower risk of all-cause death (48.1 vs 49.0 events per 100 person-years; IPTW analysis aHR, 0.95; 95% CI, 0.91–0.98).

Conclusions and Implications

Among nursing home residents with NVAF, DOACs and warfarin were associated with a similar risk of ischemic stroke/systemic embolism and major bleeding. However, the use of DOACs was associated with a slightly reduced risk of all-cause mortality.
目的:养老院居民通常被排除在临床试验之外,包括评估非瓣膜性心房颤动(NVAF)等常见疾病治疗方法的试验。我们旨在量化直接作用口服抗凝药(DOACs)与华法林在患有非瓣膜性心房颤动(NVAF)的疗养院居民中的实际安全性和有效性比较:回顾性队列研究,使用100%的国家最低数据集和2011年1月至2018年12月的医疗保险索赔链接:年龄≥66 岁的长期护理疗养院住院患者,参加付费服务的医疗保险。我们纳入了被诊断为 NVAF 的新开始使用口服抗凝药物的患者:我们确定了DOACs(阿哌沙班、达比加群、利伐沙班和依度沙班)与华法林的暴露情况。结果为缺血性中风/系统性栓塞住院、大出血、肺炎(阴性对照结果)和全因死亡。我们对临床结果采用了逆概率治疗加权竞争风险回归模型,对全因死亡采用了考克斯比例危险度回归模型:在新开始使用抗凝药物的 38,983 人中,19,366 人(49.7%)开始使用 DOACs,19,617 人(50.3%)开始使用华法林。在逆治疗概率加权分析中,与华法林相比,使用 DOAC 与缺血性中风/系统性栓塞(每 100 人年 4.5 例 vs 4.7 例;调整后危险比 [aHR],0.94;95% CI,0.84-1.05)或大出血(每 100 人年 12.6 例 vs 12.4 例;aHR,1.03;95% CI,0.96-1.10)之间没有统计学意义上的显著关联。使用 DOACs 可适度降低全因死亡风险(48.1 vs 49.0 例/100 人-年;IPTW 分析 aHR,0.95;95% CI,0.91-0.98),但具有统计学意义:在患有 NVAF 的疗养院居民中,DOACs 和华法林与缺血性中风/系统性栓塞和大出血的风险相似。然而,使用 DOACs 会略微降低全因死亡风险。

Associations of 2 Established Methods of Measuring Gait Speed and Sit-To-Stand Performance with Frailty and Life-Space Mobility in Community-Dwelling Older Adults 测量社区老年人步态速度和坐立表现的两种既定方法与虚弱程度和生活空间活动能力的关系。
IF 4.2 2区 医学 Q2 GERIATRICS & GERONTOLOGY Pub Date : 2024-10-02 DOI: 10.1016/j.jamda.2024.105292

Objectives

The 4-m gait speed (4mGS) and 10-m gait speed (10mGS) tests and the 30-second sit-to-stand (30sSTS) and 5-times sit-to-stand (5xSTS) tests are commonly used and advocated in consensus recommendations. We compared these tests on their predictive and clinical value concerning the risk of prefrailty/frailty and restricted life-space mobility (RLSM).

Design

Cross-sectional study.

Setting and Participants

A sample of 1235 community-dwelling adults (mean ± SD, 68 ± 7 years) participated in this prospective cohort study.

Methods

At baseline assessment, participants completed a survey and functional assessment, from which gait speed, sit-to-stand performance, self-reported mobility limitation, 40-item Frailty Index, and Life Space Assessment were measured. Participants with a 40-item Frailty Index >0.15 and a Life Space Assessment <60 points were classified as having prefrailty/frailty and RLSM, respectively. At 1-year follow-up assessment, prefrailty/frailty and RLSM were evaluated.

Results

Correlations between gait speed and sit-to-stand measures were high (ρ values >0.80). In multivariable ordinal models, these measures added incremental prognostic value beyond a base model comprising demographics and self-reported mobility limitation variables in predicting baseline and 1-year outcomes. Between 10mGS and 4mGS, models with 10mGS had higher concordance indices (differences, 0.005-0.009), and these differences translated to generally greater net benefit in decision curve analyses. Between 30sSTS and 5xSTS measures, no one measure consistently outperformed the other, with small net benefit differences between measures (<0.2%).

Conclusions and Implications

In community-dwelling older adults, gait speed and sit-to-stand measures meaningfully predicted prefrailty/frailty and RLSM. 10mGS provided more robust prognostic information than the 4mGS, whereas 5xSTS and 30sSTS measures showed near equivalence of performance. These findings could guide the choice of functional measures in clinical and research settings.
目标:4米步速(4mGS)和10米步速(10mGS)测试以及30秒坐立(30sSTS)和5次坐立(5xSTS)测试是常用的测试方法,也是共识建议中的推荐方法。我们比较了这些测试对虚弱前兆/虚弱和生命空间移动受限(RLSM)风险的预测和临床价值:设计:横断面研究:1235名居住在社区的成年人(平均±标准差,68±7岁)参与了这项前瞻性队列研究:在基线评估中,参与者完成了一项调查和功能评估,其中包括步速、坐立表现、自我报告的行动受限情况、40 项虚弱指数和生活空间评估。40项虚弱指数大于0.15且生活空间评估结果为0.15的参与者将被淘汰:步速与坐立测量之间的相关性很高(ρ 值大于 0.80)。在多变量序数模型中,这些测量指标在预测基线和 1 年预后时,比人口统计学和自我报告的活动受限变量组成的基础模型更具增量预后价值。在 10mGS 和 4mGS 之间,采用 10mGS 的模型具有更高的一致性指数(差异,0.005-0.009),这些差异在决策曲线分析中转化为更大的净获益。在 30sSTS 和 5xSTS 两种测量方法之间,没有一种测量方法始终优于另一种测量方法,不同测量方法之间的净效益差异较小(结论和启示:在社区居住的老年人中,步态速度和坐立测量可有意义地预测虚弱前/虚弱和 RLSM。与 4mGS 相比,10mGS 能提供更可靠的预后信息,而 5xSTS 和 30sSTS 两种测量方法的性能几乎相当。这些发现可为临床和研究环境中功能测量的选择提供指导。
