RESUMEN

Objetivo:

Determinar los factores asociados al síndrome de fragilidad (SF) en los adultos mayores atendidos en el consultorio externo de Geriatría del Hospital Nacional Hipólito Unanue (Lima-Perú) durante el mes de febrero del 2019. Materiales y

métodos:

se realizó un estudio observacional, analítico, transversal. Para la detección del SF se empleó el cuestionario de FRAIL. Se recogieron datos demográficos y clínicos, se realizó una valoración funcional, cognitiva, afectiva, nutricional y social, de los pacientes incluidos en el estudio, utilizando los componentes de la valoración geriátrica integral. Se obtuvieron medidas de frecuencia, de asociación y de significancia estadística, entre la variable dependiente SF y las variables independientes. Se calcularon los OR con IC al 95%, considerándose un valor p < 0,05 como estadísticamente significativo.

Resultados:

de 180 pacientes estudiados, 34 (18,9%) fueron frágiles, 100 (55,6%) pre frágiles y 46 (25,5%) robustos. En el análisis multivariado se identificaron como factores asociados con el SF edad > 80 años (OR = 11,65; IC 95% 3,64-37,24, p < 0,001), deterioro cognitivo (OR = 9,23; IC 95% 2,48-34,27, p = 0,001), depresión (OR = 3,37; IC 95% 1,22-9,29, p = 0,010) y desnutrición (OR = 2,97; IC 95% 1,05 - 6,55, p = 0,023).

Conclusiones:

el SF es una condición frecuente en la consulta externa de Geriatría y en nuestro estudio se asoció con una edad mayor de 80 años, deterioro cognitivo, depresión y desnutrición. Un grupo significativo de pacientes tuvo la condición de prefrágiles.
ABSTRACT

Objective:

To determine associated factors to the frailty syndrome (FS) in elderly subjects presenting to the Geriatrics Outpatient Clinic in Hipolito Unanue National Hospital in Lima, Peru, during February 2019. Materials and

Methods:

This is an observational cross-sectional analytical study. The FRAIL questionnaire was used for diagnosing FS. Both clinical and demographic data were collected, and functional, cognitive, affective, nutritional, and social aspects were assessed in all patients included in the study using the components of the Integrative Geriatric Assessment. Frequency, association, and statistical significance figures were obtained, for comparing the dependent variable (FS) and all independent variables. OR values with 95% CIs were calculated, and p<0.05 was deemed as statistically significant.

Results:

Out of 180 patients studied, 34 (18.9%) were frail, 100 (55.6%) were pre-frail, and 46 (25.5%) were strong. The multivariate analysis identified factors associated with FS, such as age >80 years (OR= 11.65, 95% CI 3.64-37.24, p<0.001), cognitive impairment (OR= 9.23; 95% CI 2.48-34.27, p= 0.001), depression (OR= 3.37; 95% IC 1.22-9.29, p= 0.010), and malnutrition (OR= 2.97; 95% CI 1.05-6.55, p= 0.023).

Conclusions:

FS is a frequent condition in the Geriatrics Outpatient Clinic, and in this study, this condition was associated with age greater than 80 years, cognitive impairment, depression, and malnutrition. A significant group of patients were deemed as prefrail.
