Background. The Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) is considered a standard screening test for frailty, however certain conditions it requires are frequently inaccessible.Aim. To develop Hospital Rapid Geriatric Assessment Scale (HRGAS) and to evaluate its diagnostic value in frailty screening. Materials and methods. 408 sequentially hospitalized patients (23% male) aged 60–95 (median 73) years were examined using our specially designed algorithm (HRGAS) that includes 9 items: 1) age; 2) Mini-Cog test; 3) short depression assessment; 4) dynamometry; 5) falls in the past year; 6) mobility; 7) self-feeding ability; 8) urinary incontinence; 9) body mass index. The results were scored from 0 to 3 for age and from 0 to 2 for all other items. Minimum score sum is 0, maximum — 19. Assessment time was approximately 5 minutes. As control SPPB was used for frailty screening. The HRGAS results were compared with SPPB. Results. Based on SPPB, frailty rate was 46,3%, pre-frail — 26%, robust — 27,7%. HRGAS score was ranged from 0 to 14 (median 4, IQR 2–6) and negatively correlated to SPPB score (rS = -0,63; p<0,001). For frailty detection (SPPB score 0–7), ROC-analysis showed AUC 0,815 (95% CI 0,774–0,856), p<0,001, cut-off value ≥5, sensitivity 67,2%, specificity 81,3%, positive prognostic value (PPV) 76,5%, negative prognostic value (NPV) 74,2%, diagnostic accuracy 74,8%. For robust detection (SPPB score 10–12), ROC-analysis showed AUC 0,805 (95% CI 0,761–0,849), p<0,001, cut-off value ≤2, sensitivity 55,8%, specificity 84,1%, PPV 57,3%, NPV 83,2%, diagnostic accuracy 76,2%. Conclusion. We developed HRGAS and calculated its cut-off values to identify and rule out frailty syndrome: score 0–2 by HRGAS indicate robust, score 3–4 — pre-frail and score ≥5 — frail patients.

Background. Cognitive decline is one of leading contributors to the loss of independence in older adults. Therefore, early diagnosis and detection of potentially modifiable cognitive disorders is a significant challenge for modern geriatrics.Aim. To assess the relationship between cognitive impairment and presence of leukoareosis through neuroimaging in older adults.Materials and methods. General population cohort study of 102 patients aged 60–98 years treated at The St. Petersburg Hospital for War Veterans between September and December 2019. Cognitive assessment (The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE)), depression (The Geriatric Depression Scale), sleep complaints, subjective cognitive decline, computed tomography (CT) scan.Results. The studied patients were divided into two groups: with the presence of leukoareosis (n=59) and without leukoareosis (n=43). Patients with leukoareosis had significantly lower total MoCA scores. They performed significantly worse in domains of visual–structural skills and attention. As for MMSE, patients with leukoareosis also performed significantly worse in repeating a sentence and descending subtraction task. There was no statistically significant difference in GDS scores between the two groups. However, patients with leukoareosis significantly more frequently considered their lives less fulfilling and their memory worse. They also abandoned most of their former interests.Conclusion. If leukoareosis is detected on CT scans, it is necessary to evaluate cognitive functions; the presence of leukoareosis in patients was associated with an increased risk of cognitive disorders and depression.

In order to reduce the risk of falls and fractures in older patients, promoting a healthy lifestyle and ensuring adequate calcium, vitamin D and protein intakes in their diet is of particular importance. When combined with regular exercise and avoiding bad habits such as alcohol and smoking, bone quality improves significantly.Osteoporosis treatment certainly includes the first line in the development and prevention of fractures in older adults, but diet optimization is an equally important component of treatment. This article presents results of the most relevant research to date on the characteristics of nutrition with a decrease in high bone density.

Despite the increase in the number of older and oldest old patients with cancer, the tactics of their treatment are often suboptimal while the doctor-patient relationship model tends to be paternalistic.Insufficient knowledge in the field of geriatric care among health care providers dealing with cancer patients along with the low representation of older patients in research lead to their vulnerability to both «over- and under-treatment». There is ample evidence to support the superiority of comprehensive geriatric assessment in identifying frail patients at risk of poor outcomes compared to conventional clinical assessment or traditional oncology tools. Planning therapy taking into account the geriatric status and preferences of the patient, allows us to add the best results and satisfaction of aging patients with oncological diseases.

Introduction: the lack of comprehensive screening programs for colorectal cancer detection in oldest-old steadily leads to an increase in the diagnostic interval (DI), i.e. the time from the patient’s first presentation of complaints until diagnosis and treatment. At the same time, worsening the general somatic condition and developing the decompensation of concomitant diseases. Thus, patients with long-term DI need additional measures while preparing for surgery; the preoperative bed-day increases.Purpose of the study: to evaluate the impact of the diagnostic interval on the short-term results of II and III stages right colon cancer treatment in geriatric patients.Materials and methods: a retrospective multicenter study was conducted at the surgical facilities of Sechenov University from 2006 to 2015. The study included patients aged over 75 who have undergone surgical treatment of II and III stages right colon cancer. The control group comprised patients with CRC diagnosis in the period from 0 to 6 months; the studied group involved patients with a diagnostic interval over than 6 months.Results and conclusions. Analysis of the results revealed that patients older than 80 years had a longer diagnostic interval, which is statistically significant (p<0.001). Prolongation of the diagnostic interval for more than 6 months has shown a decrement in the polymorbidity indicators and operational and anesthetic risk compared with DI≤6 months (p=0.001, p=0.039). Polymorbidity, in particular cardiovascular diseases decompensation, affected the indicators of operational and anesthetic risk on the ASA scale, which were significantly higher in the study group (p=0.039). High level of polymorbidity required a longer preoperative preparation in the studied group, which is statistically significant in comparison with the control group (p=0.018). Statistically significant differences in early postoperative complications rate in both groups were not revealed. 30 and 90 day mortality rates were similar in the studied and control groups (p=0.225, p=0.353). The study has also shown that diagnostic interval (DI) have no effect on the prevalence of II and III stages comparing with the control group (p=0.315).

Heart failure is one of the most common cardiovascular conditions with a steadily increasing incidence. Management of such patients only by general practitioners and cardiologists make it impossible to provide high-quality medical care. To ensure multidisciplinary monitoring of heart failure patients in many countries, including Russia, heart failure clinics are actively developing. Specially trained nursing staff play a particular role in the implementation of the clinics’ purposes. Working at Heart Failure Clinic requires advanced training, which in turn determines the priority for the development of new educational programs and expanding the competencies of nursing staff in our country. This article describes the foreign experience of nursing staff in outpatient monitoring of patients with heart failure.

Cardiopulmonary exercise testing is a study that provides both prognostic and diagnostic information about the state of the cardiovascular, respiratory systems and metabolic processes allowing us to determine how these systems contribute to a decrease in exercise tolerance. A large number of clinical studies using this method have shown its safety and diagnostic value. However, due to insufficient education among doctors and little experience, CPNT is currently not widely used in diagnostics, especially in the geriatrics. This review of available literature over the last 10 years is devoted to the relevance of the use of cardiopulmonary exercise testing in older and oldest older patients, the essence and methodology of the study, possible changes in indicators in patients with frailty, chronic heart failure, and diseases of the bronchopulmonary system.

Syncope is a short-term transient loss of consciousness associated with a decrease or cessation of blood supply to the brain. Syncope is one of the causes of falls in older patients, leading to increased hospitalizations and deaths. There is an increased susceptibility to syncope with advancing age and sometimes it occurs with no identifiable cause. Orthostatic hypotension, carotid sinus syndrome, neuromediated syncope, structural heart disease, and cardiac arrhythmias are the common contributors to syncope in older adults. Given the high risk in this group of patients, a structured and integrated approach to the management of older patient with syncope is required. Implementing the algorithm for the management of such patients allows us to evaluate the syncope cause, assess the risk and choose the optimal treatment for older patients.
