摘要

我们饶有兴趣地阅读了Álvaro Casas-Herrero等人最近发表的一篇文章,题为“vivi脆弱的多组分干预对功能能力的影响:一项多中心随机对照试验”本文验证了vivi脆弱多组分运动训练方案是一种有效且安全的干预措施,可改善社区居住体弱/体弱老年MCI或轻度痴呆患者的功能能力,为身体干预的有效性提供了有力的证据。然而,这里有一些问题我想与作者讨论。第一个问题是关于缺失的数据:总体上辍学率高达37%,特别是干预组在第三个月末的辍学率高达48%。对于一项随机对照试验来说,这并不是一个低水平,尤其是在这样一个小样本量下。在临床研究中,数据缺失往往会导致结果偏倚,甚至可能与研究结论完全相反所以我想知道在数据处理中是否考虑到了这种影响?建议使用引爆点3来测试缺失数据的影响。如果在本研究中使用,结果是否会在一定程度上逆转?第二,与对照组相比,干预组有更多的患者停止研究,您能详细描述一下原因吗?如果运动项目本身对老年人来说有难度,未来的推广是否会受到限制?最后,失踪者的特征在对照组和干预组之间是否存在差异?有可能那些在干预组中能坚持3个月的人已经有了更好的功能能力。因此,研究中观察到的干预的意义可能部分源于随访偏倚。特别是在小样本和高辍学率的前提下,可能会影响结果的一致性。综上所述,希望对上述问题进行思考,有利于巩固Álvaro Casas-Herrero等人的研究结果,更好地指导临床决策。

Comment on ‘Effects of Vivifrail multicomponent intervention on functional capacity: A multicentre randomized controlled trial’ by Casas-Herrero et al.

We read with great interest the recent article by Álvaro Casas-Herrero et al. entitled ‘Effects of Vivifrail multicomponent intervention on functional capacity: a multicentre, randomized controlled trial’.1 The article validated that the Vivifrail multicomponent exercise training programme is an effective and safe intervention for improving functional capacity in community dwelling frail/prefrail older patients with MCI or mild dementia, which provides strong evidence for the validation of physical intervention. However, here are some questions I would like to discuss with the authors.

The first question is about the missing data: The dropout rate was as high as 37% in general, especially 48% in the intervention group at the end of the third month. It is not a low level for a randomized controlled trial especially under such a small sample size. In clinical research, missing data often result in biased results and may even completely reverse the research conclusion.2 Therefore, I wonder whether this effect had been taken into account in data processing? Tipping-point3 would be recommended to test the effect of missing data. If it had been used in this study, will the result be reversed at a certain level?

Secondly, as more patients discontinued the study in the intervention group compared with the control group, could you please describe the reasons in detail? If the exercise programme itself is difficult for the old, will the promotion be restricted in the future?

Lastly, is there any differences in the characteristics of missing patients between the control group and the intervention group? It is possible that those who can persist 3 months in the intervention group already have better functional capacity. So the significance of intervention observed in the study might partly resulted from the follow-up bias. Especially on the premise of the small sample and high rate of dropouts, the consistency of results might be affected.

In summary, it is hoped that the above-mentioned issues can be pondered in favour of consolidating the findings of Álvaro Casas-Herrero et al. and can better guide clinical decision making.
