Analysis of influencing factors of frailty in elderly patients with coronary heart disease and comparative study of screening value of related scales / 中国综合临床

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the influencing factors of frailty in elderly patients with coronary heart disease (CHD), and to compare and analyze the value of different frailty scales in screening elderly patients with coronary heart disease.Methods:Using cross-sectional research methods，elderly patients with coronary heart disease from November 2019 to January 2020 in the Department of Cardiology of a tertiary hospital in Zhenjiang City were selected as the research objects. The frailty status of the patients was evaluated by the frailty index scale, and the patients were divided into frailty group (54 cases) and non-frailty group (149 cases) according to the evaluation results. F-test was used for the comparison between measurement data groups conforming to normal distribution, and χ 2 test or exact probability method was used for the comparison of counting data. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the main influencing factors of elderly patients with coronary heart disease. The correlation and consistency of clinical frail scale, frail scale and frail index were compared and analyzed were analyzed by Spearman correlation and Kappa test. ROC curve was used to analyze the sensitivity, specificity and the area under the working characteristic curve. Results:The age ((78.96±6.78) years), the percentage of monocytes >10% (31.48% (17/54)), the specific index for coronary heart disease ≥4 points (57.41% (31/54)), Barthel index <100 points (85.19% (46/54)), the mini nutritional assessment scale <24 points (66.67% (36/54)) of the patients in the frail group was higher than these in non-frail group ((73.94±5.89) years old, 12.08%(18/149), 7.38%(11/149), 22.15%(33/149), 14.77%(22/149)), the differences were statistically significant (statistical values were t=5.15, χ 2=10.46, χ 2=60.45, χ 2=66.26, χ 2=52.32; P values were <0.001,0.001,<0.001,<0.001,<0.001,respectively). The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the percentage of monocytes >10% ( OR=5.927, 95% CI1.854-18.947), the mini nutritional assessment scale <24 ( OR=7.026, 95% CI2.660-18.555),the specific index for coronary heart disease ≥4 points ( OR=3.333, 95% CI1.889-26.850,) and Barthel index <100 points ( OR=15.649, 95% CI5.403-45.321) are the main effects of frailty in elderly patients with coronary heart disease factors ( P values were 0.003,<0.001,<0.001, and <0.001, respectively). Taking the frailty index as the gold standard, the sensitivity of the clinical frailty scale and FRAIL scale were 85.19% and 85.19%, respectively, and the specificity was 90.60% and 94.63%, respectively, with no significant difference (χ 2 values were 0.000 and 1.767; all P>0.05). The Kappa of the clinical frailty scale scale was <0.75, while the Kappa of the FRAIL scale was >0.75. The consistency of the frail scale with the gold standard was better than that of the clinical frailty scale scale. Conclusion:The percentage of monocytes, the specific index for coronary heart disease, the mini nutritional assessment scale and Barthel index are the main factors affecting the frailty of elderly patients with coronary heart disease. Taking the frailty index score as the standard, the consistency between the screening results of frail scale and frailty index score is better than that of clinical frailty scale scale, which has clinical application value.
