Apóstolo, João Luís Alves; Richard, Cooke; Elzbieta, Bobrowicz-Campos; Silvina, Santana; Maura, Marcucci; Antonio, Cano; Miriam, Vollenbroek-HuttenObjective: To summarize the best available evidence regarding the effectiveness of interventions for preventing frailty progression in older adults. Introduction: Frailty is an age-related state of decreased physiological reserves characterized by an increased risk of poor clinical outcomes. Evidence supporting the malleability of frailty, its prevention and treatment, has been presented. Inclusion criteria: Th...
Predicting risk and outcomes for frail older adults
Apóstolo, João Luís Alves; Richard, Cooke; Elzbieta, Bobrowicz-Campos; Silvina, Santana; Maura, Marcucci; Antonio, Cano; Miriam, Vollenbroek-HuttenBackground A scoping search identified systematic reviews on diagnostic accuracy and predictive ability of frailty measures in older adults. In most cases, research was confined to specific assessment measures related to a specific clinical model. Objectives To summarize the best available evidence from systematic reviews in relation to reliability, validity, diagnostic accuracy and predictive ability of frailt...

Apóstolo, João Luís Alves; Richard, Cooke; Elzbieta, Bobrowicz-Campos; Silvina, Santana; Maura, Marcucci; Antonio, Cano; M, Vollenbroek; Carol, HollandReview question The objective of this review is to identify the effectiveness of the interventions in preventing progression of pre-frailty and frailty in older adults. More specifically, the review questions are: - What is the effectiveness of interventions in preventing or reducing frailty in older adults? - How does effectiveness vary with degree of frailty? - Are there factors that influence the effectivene...
