ĐẶC ĐIỂM LÂM SÀNG HỘI CHỨNG DỄ BỊ TỔN THƯƠNG Ở NGƯỜI CAO TUỔI TẠI BỆNH VIỆN 19-8 VÀ MỘT SỐ YẾU TỐ LIÊN QUAN

Abstract

Objective: To describe the clinical characteristics and prevalence of frailty among older patients at 19-8 Hospital and associated factors. Subjects: A total of 256 older patients who visited the 19-8 Hospital from February 2024 to February 2025. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using the Fried frailty phenotype to assess frailty status. Demographic data, comorbidities, BMI, blood pressure, and other clinical characteristics were collected. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors independently associated with frailty. Results: The prevalence of pre-frailty was predominant (89.45%), while frailty accounted for only 3.91% and non-frailty for 6.64%. Among the Fried components, slowness was the most common manifestation (88.28%). Multivariable regression analysis indicated that place of residence, postgraduate education, and age group were independently associated with frailty. Conclusion: In this study population, frailty was predominantly in the pre-frail stage, with slowness being the most frequent component. Place of residence, educational level, and age group were significantly associated factors. Routine frailty screening, especially in rural communities and among high-risk groups, is necessary for early detection and timely interventions to prevent progression to frailty.
