Survival analysis Multivariate Cox models adjusted for : Age, gender, albumin : always significant BMI, CRP, # of drugs : never significant Sensorial frailty significant for nurses only Physical frailty significant for residents only No significant dimensions for staff physicians Sum of 6 dimensions significant for all professionnals Each frailty dimension increases the risk of death by 4% for nurses and residents, % for staff physicians Conclusion The 3 health care professional categories do not share the same perception of the term frailty. Therefore the clinical use of this term should be avoided until a better consensus emerges Which could differ whether the evaluation involves an individual or a population and also according to the settings.
Conclusion Studensky s ongoing validation project as well as other attempts should provide a better detection of physical or global frailty to try to prevent its consequences Studenski S et al.

Frailty Prevalent concept in geriatrics Distinct clinical syndrome: Shrinking (unintentional loss of weight and sarcopenia) Weakness Poor endurance Exhaustion Slowness and low activity Constellation of many conditions J.-P. Michel, in Vulnerability and aging (Elsevier, Paris, 22) pp. 76-84 Frailty Useful concept because it corresponds to an unsteady "dynamic state of equilibrium" between: Health Independence Caring network Resourcefulness Illness Loss of autonomy Loneliness Lack of means J.-P. Michel, in Vulnerability and aging (Elsevier, Paris, 22) pp. 76-84
Theoretical trajectories of dying J. R. Lunney et al., J Am Geriatr Soc 5, 8-2 (22) J. R. Lunney et al., Jama 289, 2387-92 (23) ADL dependencies for each month cohort Frailty: nursing home stay anytime during the 6 years follow-up J. R. Lunney et al., Jama 289, 2387-92 (23)
Conclusion Frailty y correspond to a progressive reduction of functional reserve Lack of adequate response to disturbing events Identifiable (weight loss, sarcopenia,, falls, confusion, ) Induce demand of care Need for early markers Conclusion Lack of a unique definition Prevalence increase with age, whatever the definition Gender effects depends on the definition Association with health care use

Introduction Frailty is recognized as a powerful concept that is of special interest when trying to sort out the risk of adverse health outcomes, in older population. There is still no agreement on a frailty definition or measure instrument. 2 - Brown M, et al. Physical and performance measures for the identification of mild to moderate frailty. J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci 2;55:M35-5. 5. 2- Rockwood K et al. Frailty in elderly people: an evolving concept.. CMAJ 994;5:489-95. 95. Methods Data come from a cohort of 45 patients, 65+, who underwent a comprehensive geriatric assessment at the emergency ward in 996.

Results: Predictive characteristics of adverse outcomes models [range%] Death Institutionalization Emergency Hospitalization visits R 2 [ 6-2] [ 3-4] [ - 2] [2-3] Area under [ 67-73] [ 76-79] [ 56-6] [ 6-6] ROC R-square (R2) and area under the receiver operator curve (ROC) show that individual outcome models had poor predictive capacity throughout the follow-up periods. Conclusions The studied variables are not good indicators of frailty when the syndrome is defined as any of 4 adverse outcomes: Death Emergency room visit Institutionalization Hospital admission.
