Abstract
BACKGROUND Greater numbers of older patients are accessing hospital services. Specialist geriatric input at presentation may improve outcomes for at-risk patients. The Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe Frailty Instrument (SHARE-FI) frailty measure, developed for use in the community, has also been used in the emergency department (ED). AIM To measure frailty, review its prevalence in older patients presenting to ED and compare characteristics and outcomes of frail patients with their non-frail counterparts. DESIGN Patient characteristics were recorded using symphony® electronic data systems. SHARE-FI assessed frailty. Cognition, delirium and 6 and 12 months outcomes were reviewed. METHODS A prospective cohort study was completed of those aged ≥70 presenting to ED over 24 h, 7 days a week. RESULTS Almost half of 198 participants (46.7%, 93/198) were classified as frail, but this was not associated with a significant difference in mortality rates (OR 0.89, 95% CI 0.58-1.38, P = 0.614) or being alive at home at 12 months (OR 1.07, 95% CI 0.72-1.57, P = 0.745). Older patients were more likely to die (OR 2.34, 95% CI 1.30-4.21, P = 0.004) and less likely to be alive at home at 12 months (OR 0.49, 95% CI 0.23-0.83, P = 0.009). Patients with dementia (OR 0.24, P = 0.005) and on ≥5 medications (OR 0.37, 95% CI 0.16-0.87, P = 0.022) had a lower likelihood of being alive at home at 12 months. CONCLUSIONS Almost half of the sample cohort was frail. Older age was a better predictor of adverse outcomes than frailty as categorized by the SHARE-FI. SHARE-FI has limited predictability when used as a frailty screening instrument in the ED.
