ABSTRACT

Fundamento: Analizar las características epidemiológicas, clínicas y funcionales de los pacientes ingresados en el Hospital Universitario de Navarra por infección por SARS-CoV-2, así como los factores predictores de mortalidad, durante la primera ola de la pandemia provocada por este virus. Metodología: Estudio observacional y retrospectivo de todos los pacientes hospitalizados mayores de 75 años entre marzo y noviembre de 2020. Se ha obtenido información sobre múltiples variables, entre las que cabe destacar los síndromes geriátricos previos y que han aparecido durante la hospitalización, o los antecedentes médicos considerados relevantes en la infección por SARS-CoV-2. Se ha realizado un análisis descriptivo de los datos, comparaciones según diversos factores de interés y análisis multivariable para analizar los factores asociados a la mortalidad. Resultados: Se obtuvieron datos de un total de 426 pacientes cuya edad media fue de 83,2 años (52,6% varones). El 34,7% fallecieron en el hospital y el 4,5% antes de un mes tras el alta hospitalaria. Los factores relacionados con la mortalidad fueron: peor situación funcional basal, enfermedad renal crónica y fiebre o disnea como formas de presentación. Los síntomas típicos más frecuentes fueron: fiebre, disnea, tos, astenia e hiporexia. Hasta el 42,1% presentaron delirium como síntoma de inicio atípico. Se objetivó un deterioro funcional que no se recuperó al mes de seguimiento (índice de Barthel basal 81,12; 70,08 al alta; 75,55 al mes). Conclusiones: La infección por SARS-CoV-2 ha provocado elevadas tasas de mortalidad en las personas mayores. En este grupo etario, es frecuente la forma de presentación atípica de esta enfermedad y el deterioro funcional durante la hospitalización. En el presente estudio se ha identificado un peor estado funcional previo como predictor de mortalidad. Son necesarios más estudios que evalúen el impacto que la enfermedad y la hospitalización tienen en el paciente mayor...(AU)


Background: The objective of the present study is to analyze the epidemiological, clinical and functional characteristics of patients admitted to the University Hospital of Navarra due to SARS-CoV-2 infection, as well as the predictors of mortality, during the first wave of the pandemic caused by this virus. Methodology: An observational, retrospective study was performed, including all hospitalized patients older than 75 years. Information has been obtained on multiple variables, among which it is worth mentioning previous geriatric syndromes or those that have appeared during hospitalization, or past medical history considered relevant in SARS-CoV-2 infection. A descriptive analysis of the data, comparisons according to various factors of interest and multivariate analysis to analyze factors associated with mortality were carried out. Results: Data have been obtained from a total of 426 patients with a mean age of 83.2 years (52.6% men). 34.7% died in hospital and 4.5% within 1 month after hospital discharge. The factors related to mortality were: worse baseline functional status, chronic kidney disease, and fever or dyspnea as forms of presentation. The most frequent typical symptoms were: fever, dyspnea, cough, asthenia and hyporexia. Up to 42.1% presented delirium as a symptom of atypical onset. We observed a functional deterioration that was not recover after a month of follow-up (baseline Barthel index 81.12; 70.08 at discharge; 75.55 after a month). Conclusions: SARS-CoV-2 infection has caused high mortality rates in older adults. In this age group, the atypical presentation of this disease and functional deterioration during hospitalization are frequent. In the present study, a worse previous functional status has been identified as a predictor of mortality. More studies are needed to evaluate the impact that the disease and hospitalization have on the older patient...(AU)

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION AND AIMS: Gastric adenocarcinoma is among the high-ranking tumors, with respect to frequency and mortality, worldwide. The inflammatory process and immune system activity are associated with oncologic control. Our aim was to identify whether the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and other variables are prognostic factors for survival in patients with metastatic gastric cancer in a Mexican population. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Patients diagnosed with metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma, hospitalized within the time frame of December 2011 to 2021, were analyzed. The NLR, PLR, and albumin and hemoglobin levels obtained from blood samples were calculated. Functional status (ECOG and Karnofsky), sex, histology, and the presence of signet ring cells were also considered possible prognostic factors. Each factor's prognostic value for overall survival was determined through univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS: The study included 956 patients diagnosed with metastatic gastric cancer, of whom 494 (51.7%) were men and 462 (48.3%) were women. The main histologic finding was diffuse adenocarcinoma (n = 619, 64.7%), followed by intestinal adenocarcinoma (n = 293, 30.6%), and the presence of signet ring cells was found in 659 (68.9%) patients. Diagnostic laparoscopy was performed on 238 patients (24.9%) to confirm peritoneal carcinomatosis. The multivariate analysis showed that an NLR above 3.2 (HR 1.51, 95% CI 1.27-1.8; p < 0.001), albumin below 3.5 g/dl (HR 1.25, CI 1.06-1.47; p = 0.006), and an ECOG performance status of 2 or higher (HR 1.39, CI 1.10-1.76; p = 0.005) were independent factors that predicted a lower survival rate, whereas a Karnofsky score above 70% (HR 0.69, CI 0.53-0.91; p = 0.008) was associated with a better survival rate. Lastly, the PLR was not statistically significant in the multivariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS: The NLR, nutritional status assessed through albumin measurement, and functional status can act as independent prognostic survival factors in hospitalized Mexican patients diagnosed with metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma and be taken into account during therapeutic decision-making.

ABSTRACT

Os sintomas persistentes da síndrome pós-COVID-19 acarretam impactos negativos na saúde, qualidade de vida e produtividade. O objetivo deste trabalho foi descrever os sintomas persistentes da síndrome pós-COVID-19, principalmente neurológicos, e as repercussões cognitivas, emocionais, motoras, de qualidade de vida e de custos indiretos, 12 meses após a infecção. Pacientes com primeiros sintomas entre janeiro e junho de 2021 evoluíram com síndrome pós-COVID-19 e procuraram atendimento na unidade da Rede SARAH de Hospitais de Reabilitação em Fortaleza, Ceará, Brasil. As informações foram obtidas no início do acompanhamento e por entrevista telefônica após 12 meses da infecção. Participaram do estudo 58 pessoas, com idade média de 52,8 anos (±10,5) e 60% permaneceram em UTI. Os sintomas mais frequentes na admissão foram: fadiga (64%), artralgia (51%) e dispneia (47%); e após 12 meses: fadiga (46%) e alteração de memória (39%). Foram identificadas alterações nas escalas/testes funcionais: PCFS, MoCA, HAD, FSS, SF-36, TLS5x, Timed up and go, caminhada de 6 minutos e preensão manual. Os custos indiretos totais foram de USD 227.821,00, com 11.653 dias de absenteísmo; 32% dos pacientes não voltaram a trabalhar. Melhores resultados de TLS5x e SF-36, nas dimensões capacidade funcional, aspecto físico, vitalidade e dor, demonstraram associação com retorno laboral (p ≤ 0,05). Os sintomas persistentes mais frequentes foram: fadiga, artralgia, dispneia, ansiedade e depressão, com repercussões negativas na funcionalidade cognitiva, emocional, motora e qualidade de vida. Esses sintomas perduraram por mais de um ano, principalmente fadiga e alteração de memória, sendo esta última mais relatada tardiamente. Houve dificuldade importante de retorno laboral e custos indiretos de USD 4.847,25 por pessoa/ano.


Síntomas persistentes del síndrome post-COVID-19 provocan impactos negativos en la salud, calidad de vida y productividad. El objetivo fue describir los síntomas persistentes del síndrome post-COVID-19, sobre todo neurológicos, y las repercusiones cognitivas, emocionales, motoras, de calidad de vida y los costos indirectos, 12 meses tras la infección. Pacientes que tuvieron los primeros síntomas entre enero y junio de 2021, desarrollaron síndrome post-COVID-19 y buscaron atención en la unidad de la Red SARAH de Hospitales de Rehabilitación en Fortaleza, Ceará, Brasil. Las informaciones se obtuvieron al inicio del seguimiento y por entrevista telefónica 12 meses tras la infección. Participaron 58 personas, con edad de 52,8±10,5 años y el 60% permaneció en la UTI. Los síntomas más frecuentes al ingreso fueron: fatiga (64%), artralgia (51%) y disnea (47%); tras 12 meses fueron: fatiga (46%) y alteración de memoria (39%). Se identificaron alteraciones en las escalas/testes funcionales: PCFS, MoCA, HAD, FSS, SF-36, TLS5x, timed up and go, caminar por 6 minutos y prensión manual. Los costos indirectos totales fueron USD 227.821,00, con 11.653 días de absentismo. El 32% de los pacientes no volvió a trabajar. Mejor TLS5x y SF-36 en las dimensiones capacidad funcional, aspecto físico, vitalidad y dolor demostraron una asociación con el retorno al trabajo (p ≤ 0,05). Los síntomas persistentes más frecuentes fueron fatiga, artralgia, disnea, ansiedad y depresión, con repercusiones negativas en la funcionalidad cognitiva, emocional, motora y calidad de vida. Estos síntomas continuaron por más de un año, sobre todo la fatiga y la alteración de la memoria, siendo esta última reportada con más frecuencia tardíamente. Hubo una dificultad importante en el retorno al trabajo y costos indirectos de USD 4.847,25 persona/año.


The persistent symptoms of post-COVID-19 syndrome negatively impact health, quality of life, and productivity. This study aimed to describe the persistent symptoms of post-COVID-19 syndrome (especially neurological ones) and their 12-month post-infection cognitive, emotional, motor, quality of life, and indirect cost repercussions. Patients showing the first symptoms of COVID-19 from January to June 2021 who developed post-COVID-19 syndrome and sought care at the Fortaleza Unit (Ceará, Brazil) of the SARAH Network of Rehabilitation Hospitals were included in this study. Information was obtained at the baseline follow-up and by telephone interview 12 months post-infection. In total, 58 people participated in this study with an average age of 52.8±10.5 years, of which 60% required an ICU. The most frequent symptoms on admission included fatigue (64%), arthralgia (51%), and dyspnea (47%), whereas, after 12 months, fatigue (46%) and memory impairment (39%). The following scales/functional tests showed alterations: PCFS, MoCA, HAD, FSS, SF-36, TLS5x, timed up and go, 6-minute walk, and handgrip. Indirect costs totaled USD 227,821.00, with 11,653 days of absenteeism. Moreover, 32% of patients were unable to return to work. Better TLS5x and higher SF-36 scores in the functional capacity, physical functioning, vitality, and pain dimensions were associated with return to work (p ≤ 0.05). The most frequent persistent symptoms referred to fatigue, arthralgia, dyspnea, anxiety, and depression, which negatively affected cognitive, emotional, and motor function and quality of life. These symptoms lasted for over a year, especially fatigue and memory alteration, the latter of which being the most reported after COVID-19 infections. Results also show a significant difficulty returning to work and indirect costs of USD 4,847.25 per person/year.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT. Frailty is defined as a recognizable state of increased vulnerability resulting from age-associated decline of function in various physiological systems, such that the ability to deal with acute or everyday stressors is compromised. Objective: The aim of the study was to characterize the sample of older adults with cognitive impairment, according to the frailty status indirectly assessed by family members, other clinical and sociodemographic variables; and to assess the overlap of clinical conditions evaluated in this sample with cognitive impairment. Methods: Data were extracted from the follow-up database of the Frailty in Brazilian Older Adults (FIBRA) study (2016-2017). The sample consisted of 130 elderly people with cognitive impairment assessed by the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE). The scores for the Clinical Dementia Scale (CDR), Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia and Functional Activities Questionnaire were described. Frailty was indirectly measured through questions answered by family members about the five criteria that compose the frailty phenotype. Results: The sample consisted mostly of older women (n=91) with a mean age of 82.4 (SD=5.3) years, mean schooling of 3.3 years (SD=3.07), widowed (47.7%) and who lived with children and/or grandchildren (68%). More than half had multimorbidity (74.90%), 39.5% had depression symptoms suggestive of major depression, 57% had impaired functionality, 49.3% were frail, 37.6% pre-frail, and 13.10% robust. Conclusion: Among older adults with cognitive impairment, frailty and functional limitations are common.


RESUMO. A fragilidade é definida como um estado reconhecível de vulnerabilidade aumentada resultante do declínio da função associado à idade em vários sistemas fisiológicos, de modo que a capacidade de lidar com estressores agudos ou cotidianos fica comprometida. Objetivo: Caracterizar uma amostra de pessoas idosas com comprometimento cognitivo, segundo o estado de fragilidade, avaliado de forma indireta por familiares, assim como outras variáveis clínicas e sociodemográficas; e avaliar a sobreposição das condições clínicas avaliadas nesta amostra com o comprometimento cognitivo. Métodos: Os dados foram extraídos do banco de dados de acompanhamento do estudo Fragilidade em Idosos Brasileiros (FIBRA - 2016-2017). A amostra foi composta por 130 idosos com comprometimento cognitivo avaliado pelo Mini-Exame do Estado Mental (MEEM). Foram descritos os escores da Escala Clínica de Demência (CDR), da Escala Cornell de Depressão em Demência e do Questionário de Atividades Funcionais. A fragilidade foi mensurada indiretamente por meio de questões respondidas junto aos familiares sobre os cinco critérios que compõem o fenótipo de fragilidade. Resultados: A amostra foi composta em sua maioria por mulheres idosas (n=91) com idade média de 82,4 (DP=5,3) anos, escolaridade média de 3,3 anos (DP=3,07), viúvas (47,7%) e que viviam com filhos e/ou netos (68%). Mais da metade apresentava multimorbidade (74,90%), 39,5% apresentavam sintomas depressivos sugestivos de depressão maior, 57% tinham funcionalidade prejudicada, 49,3% eram frágeis, 37,6% pré-frágeis e 13,10% robustos. Conclusão: Entre idosos com alterações cognitivas, é comum a co-ocorrência de fragilidade e de limitações funcionais.

Abstract Objective To assess the functional disability level and identify associated factors in people after Ischemic Cerebral Vascular Accident. Methods A prospective cohort, carried out in a reference hospital in neurology with 224 people with ischemic stroke. Data collection took place between March and October 2019. Participants were followed up during hospitalization, when sociodemographic and clinical variables were collected using specific instruments and contacted after 90 days, by telephone call, to apply the Modified Barthel Index. In the analysis, descriptive statistics and Pearson's chi-square test were applied. Statistical significance of 5% was adopted. Results Most had some degree of functional disability (58.5%), with 29.5% having moderate dependence and 29.0% having severe dependence. The variables being female (p=0.011), time of arrival at the reference hospital greater than or equal to 4.5 hours (p=0.017), previous stroke (p=0.031), not having undergone thrombolysis (p=0.023), having high blood pressure (p=0.032) and greater severity estimated by the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (p=0.000) were associated with a higher disability level. Conclusion Moderate to severe dependence predominated. The severity of the event, previous event, hypertension, non-submission to thrombolysis, delay in arriving at the hospital and female gender were associated with a higher functional disability level.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO Objetivo Analisar a associação da independência funcional com aspectos clínicos de comprometimento neurológico, a localização e extensão do dano neuronal e os fatores sociodemográficos em pacientes na fase aguda do AVC. Método Estudo analítico de recorte transversal, realizado com 90 pacientes adultos e idosos acometidos por AVC isquêmico, que tiveram admissão no ambiente hospitalar nas primeiras 24 horas após o evento vascular. A coleta dos dados referentes aos aspectos clínicos e fatores sociodemográficos foi realizada pelo prontuário eletrônico e/ou entrevista para descrever o perfil dos pacientes, Oxfordshire Community Stroke Project, Alberta Stroke Programme Early CT Score, National Institute of Health Stroke Scale e a Medida de Independência Funcional. Resultados O comprometimento neurológico, de acordo com a National Institute of Health Stroke Scale, foi associado à funcionalidade nas primeiras 24 horas após o AVC. Além disso, a presença de hipertensão arterial, idade, trabalho inativo, tabagismo e extensão do dano neuronal estiveram associados à dependência funcional, mas não permaneceram no modelo final deste estudo. Conclusão A dependência funcional está associada à hipertensão arterial, idade, trabalho inativo, tabagismo, extensão do dano neuronal e grau de comprometimento neurológico nas primeiras 24 horas após o evento vascular. Além disso, um nível mais elevado de comprometimento neurológico foi independentemente associado a níveis aumentados de dependência funcional.


ABSTRACT Purpose To analyze the association of functional independence with clinical aspects of neurological impairment, the location and extent of neuronal damage and sociodemographic factors in patients in the acute phase of stroke. Methods Analytical cross-sectional study in 90 adult and older patients affected by ischemic stroke, admitted to the hospital within 24 hours of the vascular event. Sociodemographic factors and clinical aspects data were collected from electronic medical records and/or interviews in order to depict the patients'profile, Oxfordshire Community Stroke Project, Alberta Stroke Programme Early CT Score, National Institute of Health Stroke Scale, and Functional Independence Measure. Results Neurological impairment, according to the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale, was associated with functioning in the first 24 hours after the stroke. Furthermore, the presence of arterial hypertension, age, inactive work, smoking and extent of neuronal damage were associated with functional dependence, but did not remain in the final model of this study. Conclusion Functional dependence is associated with arterial hypertension, age, inactive work, smoking, extent of neuronal damage, and degree of neurological impairment in the first 24 hours after the vascular event. Furthermore, a higher level of neurological impairment was independently associated with increased levels of functional dependence.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Los pacientes críticos pediátricos son susceptibles de presentar alteraciones del flujo sanguíneo cerebral que impliquen un deterioro de su estado de salud funcional. Objetivo: Identificar factores predictores de mayor riesgo de mala evolución funcional en pacientes pediátricos críticos con sepsis. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio de cohortes retrospectivo con menores de 18 años de edad con sepsis, ingresados en la unidad de cuidados intensivos pediátricos. Se recogieron variables epidemiológicas, clínicas y del estado de salud funcional previas al ingreso, al alta y a los 6 meses. El estado de salud funcional se evaluó mediante la escala de categorías de estado global y cerebral pediátrico. Se evaluó el cambio del estado funcional entre el ingreso y a los 6 meses del alta. Se realizó un análisis univariante para comparar grupos considerando el mal pronóstico y el cambio del estado funcional y su relación con las variables. Resultados: Se incluyeron 46 pacientes. A los 6 meses del alta, cuatro (8,7 por ciento) presentaron mal pronóstico funcional y ocho (17,4 por ciento) empeoramiento funcional respecto al ingreso. No se encontraron asociaciones entre las variables predictoras y la morbilidad, aunque se observó cierta tendencia en algunas como mayor soporte inotrópico (VIS > 20: 12,5 por ciento vs. 50 por ciento, p= 0,075), extracorpóreo y de reemplazo renal (25 por ciento vs. 2,6 por ciento, p= 0,074) y estancia hospitalaria más prolongada (50 por ciento vs. 15,8 por ciento , p= 0,055). Conclusiones: El soporte en la unidad de cuidados intensivos pediátricos no fue un predictor de morbilidad funcional en la muestra(AU)


Introduction: Critically ill pediatric patients are susceptible to cerebral blood flow alterations that imply a deterioration of their functional health status. Objective: To identify predictors of a higher risk of poor functional outcome in critically ill pediatric patients with sepsis. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted with children under 18 years of age with sepsis, who were admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit. Epidemiological, clinical, and functional health status variables were collected prior to admission, discharge, and after 6 months. Functional health status was assessed using the Pediatric Global State and Brain Status Category Scale. The change in performance status between admission and 6 months after discharge was assessed. A univariate analysis was performed to compare groups considering poor prognosis and change in functional status and their relationship with the variables. Results: A total of 46 patients were included. At 6 months after discharge, four (8.7 percent) had a poor functional prognosis and eight (17.4 percent) had functional worsening at admission. No associations were found between the predictor variables and morbidity, although some trends were observed in some variables, such as greater inotropic support (SIV > 20: 12.5 percent vs. 50 percent, p = 0.075), extracorporeal and renal replacement (25 percent vs. 2.6 , percent p = 0.074), and longer hospital stay (50 percent vs. 15.8 percent , p = 0.055). Conclusions: Support in the pediatric intensive care unit was not a predictor of functional morbidity in the sample(AU)

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a disabling inflammatory disease that makes walking and activities of daily living difficult. This condition can reduce functional capacity and increase the risk for surgery. Objective: To know the functional capacity of patients with KOA evaluated by the six-minute walk test (6MWT). Method: This cross-sectional study evaluated age, gender, weight, BMI, pain (VAS 90-100), physical disability (WOMAC 0-96), degree of joint damage by radiographic imaging, and 6MWT. Results: A total of 176 patients referred by Orthopedics were evaluated, with the inclusion of 164 participants. The mean age was 61.89 ± 10.62 years, 81% women, 67% with cardiovascular disease, hypertension and/or diabetes, 81% obese, with moderate pain (VAS 47.74 ± 29.27) and according to WOMAC, most had severe or very severe disability. The distance covered in the 6MWT was 354.03 ± 102.03m, 67% of the predicted distance. The maximum heart rate achieved was 107.27 ± 17.71 bpm, which characterizes 68% of the predicted by age. Only 12% of the sample showed a marked drop in oxygenation in the 6MWT and 40% had a recovery heart rate in the 1st minute below 15 bpm. Conclusion: Patients with KOA, who were evaluated by the 6MWT, have low functional capacity and physical deconditioning. Level of Clinical Evidence III, Case Control Study.


RESUMO A osteoartrite de joelho (OAJ) é uma doença inflamatória incapacitante que dificulta as atividades de vida diária do indivíduo. Esta condição pode reduzir a capacidade funcional e aumentar o risco de cirurgia, caso necessária. Objetivo: Conhecer a capacidade funcional de pacientes com OAJ, avaliada pelo teste de caminhada de seis minutos (TC6M). Métodos: Neste estudo transversal, avaliamos idade, sexo, peso, índice de massa corporal (IMC), dor (escala visual analógica - EVA 90-100), incapacidade física (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index - WOMAC 0-96), grau de lesão articular por imagem radiográfica e TC6M. Resultados: Foram avaliados 176 pacientes encaminhados pela Ortopedia, com a inclusão de 164 participantes.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction COVID-19 could leave important consequences, including functional decline. Objective Eval-uate functional status in pediatric patients hospitalized with COVID-19 and correlate with clinical variables. Methods Prospective and retrospective longitudinal study with patients with COVID-19. Hospitalization data were collected from medical record review and post discharge data were collected by telephone contact. Functional status was evaluated by Functional Status Scale (FSS-Brazil) in three moments (hospital admission, hospi-tal discharge and after hospital discharge). Spearman test was used to correlate continuous variables and the linear model with generalized estimation equations was used to verify differences in the proportion of functional impairment occurrence (FSS-Brazil ≥ 8) at different mo-ments of the study and previous disease presence. Results It was included 232 patients, 56% male, median age of five years old. Seventy (30.2%) patients had post discharge data. The mean global score of FSS-Brazil was 7.3 at hospital admission, 6.8 at discharge hospital and 6.8 after discharge hospital. Functional status was adequate in the three different moments evaluated in 75% of the sample. The ventilatory support needed was not correlated with functional status and the length of hos-pital stay and oxygen therapy showed weak correlations with functional status. Having no previous disease reduced the risk of functional impairment by 94%. Conclusion The majority of the patients maintained adequate functional status. Absence of previous disease was a protective factor for long term functional impairment.


Resumo Introdução A COVID-19 pode deixar sequelas impor-tantes, como declínio funcional. Objetivo Avaliar a funcionalidade dos pacientes pediátricos internados com COVID-19 e correlacionar com variáveis clínicas. Métodos Estudo longitudinal retrospectivo e prospectivo, com pacientes pediátricos com COVID-19. Os dados de internação hospitalar foram coletados a partir da revisão de prontuários e os dados pós-alta através de contato telefônico. A funcionalidade foi avaliada através da Escala de Estado Funcional Pediátrica (FSS-Brasil) em três momentos (admissão, alta e pós-alta hospitalar). A correlação entre as variáveis contínuas foi avaliada pelo teste de Spearman e utilizou-se o modelo linear com equações de estimação generalizada para verificar as diferenças nas proporções de ocorrência de prejuízo funcional (FSS-Brasil ≥ 8) nos diferentes momentos do estudo e na presença de doenças prévias. Resultados Foram incluídos 232 pacientes, 56% do sexo masculino, mediana de 5 anos de idade. Foram obtidos dados de seguimento pós-alta hospitalar de 70 (30,2%) crianças. O escore global médio da FSS-Brasil foi de 7,3 na admissão, 6,8 na alta e 6,8 após a alta. A funcionalidade apresentou-se adequada nos três momentos de avalia-ção em 75% da amostra. A necessidade de suporte ven-tilatório não foi correlacionado com a funcionalidade, e o tempo de internação e oxigenoterapia apresentaram correlações fracas com a funcionalidade. A inexistência de doenças prévias reduziu em 94% o risco de prejuízo funcional. Conclusão A maioria das crianças manteve funcionalidade adequada. Não ter doenças prévias foi um fator de proteção para o prejuízo funcional em longo prazo.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction Femur fractures and hip osteoarthritis affect the functional independence of older adults. Hip arthroplasty (HA) is a surgery to treat these conditions and physiotherapy can reduce functional dependence levels. Objective Compare pre- and postoperative functional dependence in older adults submitted to HA, assess the association between functional dependence and independence, and whether age is associated with greater functional dependence in these patients. Methods A quantitative cross-sectional descriptive comparative study with older adult volunteers submitted to HA evaluated before and after surgery using the Katz index and Functional Independence Measure (FIM). Comparative analysis was performed via Wilcoxon's matched pairs test and Spearman's correlation. Linear regression was applied to assess the influence of functional dependence on postoperative independence (p < 0.05). Results Forty-eight patients were evaluated in the pre- and postoperative stages using the Katz index, which demonstrated reduced functional dependence after HA. The FIM assessment indicated greater post-operative functional dependence, demonstrating the surgical procedure combined with early physiotherapy while patients were hospitalized promoted functional independence in older adults. Additionally, there was a directly proportional relationship between dependence level and age. Conclusion Functional dependence declined after HA, which improved independence in older adults. Functional dependence affected postoperative independence and age influenced functional dependence.


Resumo Introdução Fraturas de colo do fêmur e osteoartrose no quadril afetam a independência funcional de idosos. A artroplastia de quadril (AQ) é uma cirurgia para tratar essas condições e a fisioterapia pode reduzir o nível de dependência funcional. Objetivo Comparar o nível de dependência funcional pré e pós-operatório de idosos submetidos à AQ, avaliar a associação entre dependência funcional e independência funcional e verificar se a idade está associada à pior dependência funcional destes pacientes. Métodos Estudo transversal, descritivo, quantitativo e de associação, onde voluntários idosos submetidos à AQ foram avaliados no pré e pós-operatório usando o índice de Katz e a Medida de Independência Funcional (MIF). A análise comparativa foi realizada com os testes estatísticos Wilcoxon pareado e correlação de Spearman. Uma regressão linear examinou a influência da dependência funcional na independência pós-operatória (p < 0,05). Resultados Quarenta e oito pacientes foram avaliados tanto no pré quanto no pós-operatório por meio do índice Katz, observando-se uma redução da dependência funcional após o procedimento de AQ. A avaliação da MIF demonstrou que houve aumento da independência funcional no pós-operatório, demonstrando que o procedimento cirúrgico associado à fisioterapia precoce, enquanto o paciente ainda está hospitalizado, promoveu a independência funcional. Além disto, houve uma relação diretamente proporcional entre nível de dependência e idade. Conclusão A dependência funcional reduziu após a cirurgia de AQ e aumentou a independência em idosos. A dependência funcional impactou a independência após a cirurgia e a idade influenciou a dependência funcional.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: The functional status of older adults (OA) is usually used as an indicator of their health. Increased dependence raises the need for an informal caregiver (IC), leading to a state of work overload, which was frequently observed during the COVID-19 confinement. Objective: To assess the relationship between physical dependence of OA, job burnout of their IC, and the confinement conditions in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Materials and methods: The participants included 77 OA together with their respective IC. The OA filled out a sociodemographic data sheet and a Confinement Conditions Questionnaire. In addition to these two forms, the IC filled out the Zarit Caregiver Burnout Scale and the ABVD Barthel Scale. Results: Statistically significant correlations were found between: physical dependence and job burnout (rho=0.475, p<0.01); physical dependence and confinement degree (rho=0.441, p<0.01); and job burden and confinement degree (rho=0.344, p<0.01). Conclusion: Caregivers develop a greater job burnout as a consequence of the OA's dependence. Furthermore, it seems that this burnout is more related to the confinement conditions experienced by older adults than to the caregiver's own conditions.


Introducción: El estado funcional de las personas adultas mayores (PAM) suele tomarse como indicador de salud; la presencia de dependencia incrementa la necesidad de un cuidador informal (CI) que puede desarrollar sobrecarga, lo cual se agudizó durante el confinamiento por COVID-19. Objetivo: Evaluar la relación de la dependencia física de las PAM, la sobrecarga de su CI y las condiciones de confinamiento en el contexto de la pandemia por COVID-19. Materiales y métodos: Participaron 77 diadas conformadas por una PAM y su CI. Las PAM contestaron una ficha de datos sociodemográficos y Cuestionario de Condiciones de Confinamiento. Los CI, diligenciaron una ficha de datos sociodemográficos, Cuestionario de Condiciones de Confinamiento, Escala de Carga del Cuidador de Zarit y Escala de Barthel de ABVD. Resultados: Se encontró correlaciones estadísticamente significativas entre la dependencia física y la sobrecarga (rho=0,475, p<0,01); la dependencia física y el grado de confinamiento (rho=0,441, p<0,01); y la sobrecarga y el grado de confinamiento (rho=0,344, p<0,01). Conclusión: Los cuidadores de PAM desarrollan mayor sobrecarga frente a su dependencia física; además parece ser que la sobrecarga del cuidador está más relacionada con las condiciones de confinamiento de las personas adultas mayores, que con las propias condiciones de confinamiento del cuidador.


Introdução: O estado funcional do idoso (PAM) é geralmente tomado como um indicador de saúde; A presença de dependência aumenta a necessidade de um cuidador informal (CI) que pode desenvolver sobrecarga, que se agravou durante o confinamento da COVID-19. Objetivo: Avaliar a relação entre a dependência física dos PAM, a sobrecarga do seu CI e as condições de confinamento no contexto da pandemia de COVID-19. Materiais e métodos: Participaram 77 díades compostas por uma PAM e seu CI. O PAM respondeu a uma ficha de dados sociodemográficos e a um Questionário de Condições de Confinamento. Os CI preencheram ficha de dados sociodemográficos, Questionário de Condições de Confinamento, Escala de Sobrecarga do Cuidador de Zarit e Escala Barthel (ABVD). Resultados: Foram encontradas correlações estatisticamente significativas entre dependência física e sobrecarga (rho=0,475, p<0,01); dependência física e grau de confinamento (rho=0,441, p<0,01); e sobrecarga e grau de confinamento (rho=0,344, p<0,01). Conclusão: Os cuidadores do PAM desenvolvem maior sobrecarga diante da dependência física; além disso, parece que a sobrecarga do cuidador está mais relacionada com as condições de confinamento dos idosos do que com as próprias condições de confinamento do cuidador.

ABSTRACT

Introducción El paciente crítico hospitalizado en cuidado intensivo (UCI) tiene más riesgo de deterioro en la función física. Una forma de contrarrestarlo está relacionada con la intervención temprana de fisioterapia, pero son escasos los reportes en pacientes con enfermedad severa por COVID-19. Objetivo Describir el compromiso y cambio en la funcionalidad y en la fuerza muscular en pacientes con COVID-19 que recibieron intervención temprana de fisioterapia en UCI hasta el alta hospitalaria, y comparar la evolución de acuerdo con si recibieron ventilación mecánica invasiva o no. Metodología Estudio retrospectivo de pacientes con COVID-19 que ingresaron a UCI entre marzo y septiembre del 2020 y recibieron intervención de fisioterapia. La funcionalidad se evaluó con el índice Barthel (IB) y la fuerza muscular con el Medical Research Council Sum Score (MRC-SS), los cuales fueron medidos por el fisioterapeuta de turno en dos momentos, al egreso de UCI y de hospitalización. Se consideró el valor p < 0,05 como significativo. Resultados Se revisaron 66 registros; la edad promedio fue de 53,3 (32 ± 11,5) años; 32 (48,5%) requirieron ventilación mecánica. Se observó compromiso en la funcionalidad y en la fuerza muscular, con mejoría progresiva antes del egreso hospitalario: IB [64,1 (± 34,7) vs. 87,7 (± 18,4) p = 0,000], MRC-SS [40,5 (± 11) vs. 48 (± 9) p = 0,000]. El grupo de pacientes ventilados presentó mayor compromiso IB [34,2 (± 24,7) vs. 76,7 (± 21,2) p = 0,000] y MRC-SS [31,5 (± 7,2) vs. 42,3 (± 8,3) p = 0,000]. Los días de ventilación mecánica, de relajación, y mayor APACHE II mostraron una correlación negativa significativa con las variables de resultado (p = 0,000). Conclusiones Los pacientes con enfermedad severa por COVID-19 que recibieron intervención de fisioterapia mostraron cambios significativos en la funcionalidad y en la fuerza muscular. Los pacientes que requirieron ventilación mecánica presentaron mayor compromiso funcional (AU)


Introduction The critically ill patient hospitalized in intensive care unit (ICU), has a higher risk of deterioration in physical function. One way to counteract its related to early physiotherapy intervention, but there are few reports in patients with severe disease from COVID-19. Objective To describe the compromise and change in functionality and muscle strength in patients with COVID-19 who received early physiotherapy intervention in ICU until hospital discharge and compare the evolution according to whether or not they received invasive mechanical ventilation. Methodology Retrospective study of patients with COVID-19 admitted to the ICU between March and September 2020 and received physiotherapy intervention. Functionality was assessed with the Barthel Index (BI) and muscle strength with the Medical Research Council Sum Score (MRC-SS), which were measured by the physiotherapist at two moments, upon discharge from ICU and from hospitalization. For the correlations, a value P<.05 was considered significant. Results Sixty-six records were reviewed; the mean age was 53.3 (32±11.5) years; 32 (48.5%) required mechanical ventilation. Compromise in functionality and muscle strength was observed, with progressive improvement before hospital discharge: IB [64.1 (± 34.7) vs. 87.7 (± 18.4), P = .000], MRC-SS [40.5 (± 11) vs. 48 (± 9), P = .000]. The group of ventilated patients presented greater compromise: IB [34.2 (± 24.7) vs. 76.7 (± 21.2), P = .000] and MRC-SS [31.5 (± 7.2) vs. 42.3 (± 8.3), P = .000]. The days of mechanical ventilation, relaxation, and higher APACHE II showed a significant negative correlation with the outcome variables (P = .000). Conclusions Patients with severe disease from COVID-19 who received physiotherapy intervention, showed significant changes in functionality and muscle strength. The patients who required mechanical ventilation presented greater functional compromise (AU)

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: The frailty present at hospital admission and the stressors to which patients are subjected during their stay may increase dependency at hospital discharge. OBJECTIVES: To assess the predictive validity of the Clinical Frailty Scale-España (CFS-Es) on increased dependency at 3 and 12 months (m) after hospital discharge. METHODOLOGY: Multicentre cohort study in 2020-2022. Including patients with >48 h stay in intensive care units (ICU) and non-COVID-19. VARIABLES: pre-admission frailty (CFS-Es). Sex, age, days of stay (ICU and hospital), dependency on admission and at 3 m and 12 m after discharge (Barthel index), muscle weakness (Medical Research Council Scale sum score <48), hospital readmissions. STATISTICS: descriptive and multivariate analysis. RESULTS: 254 cases were included. Thirty-nine per cent were women and the median [Q1-Q3] age was 67 [56-77] years. SAPS 3 on admission (median [Q1-Q3]): 62 [51-71] points. Frail patients on admission (CFS-Es 5-9): 58 (23%). Dependency on admission (n = 254) vs. 3 m after hospital discharge (n = 171) vs. 12 m after hospital discharge (n = 118): 1) Barthel 90-100: 82% vs. 68% vs. 65%. 2) Barthel 60-85: 15% vs. 15% vs. 20%. 3) Barthel 0-55: 3% vs. 17% vs. 15%. In the multivariate analysis, adjusted for the variables recorded, we observed that frail patients on admission (CFS-Es 5-9) are 2.8 times (95%CI: 1.03-7.58; p = 0.043) more likely to increase dependency (Barthel 90-100 to <90 or Barthel 85-60 to <60) at 3 m post-discharge (with respect to admission) and 3.5 times (95%CI: 1.18-10.30; p = 0.024) more likely to increase dependency at 12 m post-discharge. Furthermore, for each additional CFS-Es point there is a 1.6-fold (95%CI: 1.01-2.23; p = 0.016) greater chance of increased dependency in the 12 m following discharge. CONCLUSIONS: CFS-Es at admission can predict increased dependency at 3 m and 12 m after hospital discharge.

INTRODUCTION: Cerebral small vessel disease is a leading cause of functional loss, disability, and cognitive impairment. OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of small vessel disease and clinical characteristics associated with greater functional, cognitive and affective impairment in older adults with cerebrovascular disease attended at the Neurology Service of the Carlos Andrade Marín Hospital in the period 2020 - 2021. METHODOLOGY: Observational, analytical cross-sectional study with 80 patients over 65 years of age with previously diagnosed cerebrovascular disease. It was determined which patients had cerebral small vessel disease. The two groups of ischemic cerebrovascular disease with and without cerebral small vessel disease were compared. The degree of functional impairment was measured with the Barthel, Lawton and Brody scales. Cognitive impairment was measured with the Montreal Cognitive Assessment-Basic test, and affective state with the Yesavage scale. Odds ratio was used and a p value <0,05 was considered significant. Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 25 was used. RESULTS: Males represented 51,2%. Mean age was 76,2 years. Prevalence of cerebral small vessel disease (87,5%). Fazekas scale grade 1 (46,3%), Factors associated with cerebral small vessel disease: smoking [RR: 7,27; 95% CI: 1,69-31,3); chronic kidney disease [RR: 4,0; 95% CI: 1,01-15,7]. Moderate dependence [RR: 6,42; 95% CI: 1,02-40,3]. Factors associated with loss of function: severity of stroke. Factors associated with cognitive impairment: infarction with double territory. Factors associated with affective impairment: dual territory infarction and metabolic syndrome (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: Cerebral small vessel disease has a high prevalence among older adults with cerebrovascular disease and represented a considerable cognitive, functional and affective deterioration, in relation to patients without this disease.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Verificar a prevalência da intolerância ao exercício e a correlação com o perfil sociodemográfico, clínico, de hospitalização e função física na alta de pacientes hospitalizados pela COVID-19. Métodos: Estudo transversal com 52 pacientes internados por COVID-19 no Hospital Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Vitória, Espírito Santo. Coletou-se informações no momento da alta quanto ao perfil sociodemográfico, clínico, de hospitalização e função física, através de questionário semiestruturado, prontuário eletrônico, escalas e testes. Utilizou-se o Medical Research Council Modificado (mMRC) para graduar a dispneia, o Medical Research Council (MRC) para avaliar força muscular periférica, a manovacuometria, através das pressões inspiratória e expiratória máximas, para mensurar força muscular respiratória e a Medida de Independência Funcional (MIF) para funcionalidade. A variável desfecho, tolerância ao exercício, foi medida pelo Teste de Sentar e Levantar de 1 minuto. Resultados: Todos participantes apresentaram intolerância ao exercício no momento da alta hospitalar. O desempenho no teste de sentar e levantar foi inversamente correlacionado com o grau de dispneia e diretamente com a força muscular inspiratória, pontuação total da Medida de Independência Funcional, domínios de autocuidado, locomoção, mobilidade (p 0,019), e controle de esfíncter Conclusão: A prevalência da intolerância ao exercício na alta por COVID-19 foi de 100%, e estava correlacionada com o grau de dispneia, força muscular inspiratória e funcionalidade para autocuidado, locomoção, mobilidade e controle de esfíncter. Destaca-se a avaliação da tolerância ao exercício como importante preditor de sequelas pós-COVID-19, capaz de avaliar a interação entre diversos sistemas orgânicos.


Objective: To verify the prevalence of exercise intolerance and the correlation with the sociodemographic, clinical, hospitalization and physical function profile at discharge of patients hospitalized for COVID-19. Methods: Cross-sectional study with 52 patients hospitalized for COVID-19 at Hospital Santa Casa de Misericórdia in Vitória, Espírito Santo. Information was collected at discharge regarding the sociodemographic, clinical, hospitalization and physical function profile, through a semi-structured questionnaire, electronic medical record, scales and tests. The Modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) was used to grade dyspnea, the Medical Research Council (MRC) was used to assess peripheral muscle strength, manovacuometry, through maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures, to measure respiratory muscle strength and the Independence Measure Functional (MIF) for functionality. The outcome variable, exercise tolerance, was measured by the 1-minute Sit and Stand Test. Results: All participants presented exercise intolerance at discharge. Performance in the 1-minute Sit and Stand Test was inversely correlated with the degree of dyspnea and directly with inspiratory muscle strength, total score on the Independence Measure Functional, self-care domains, locomotion, mobility and sphincter control. Conclusion: The prevalence of exercise intolerance at discharge due to COVID-19 was 100%, and was correlated with the degree of dyspnea, inspiratory muscle strength and functionality for self-care, locomotion, mobility and sphincter control. The assessment of exercise tolerance stands out as an important predictor of sequelae after COVID-19, capable of assessing the interaction between different

ABSTRACT

Enquadramento: O AVC é uma das causas de maior mortalidade e morbilidade, resultando em incapacidades para as atividades de vida diária. A independência funcional é um dos fatores de maior relevo para o indivíduo; assim, o foco deste trabalho é o de compreender os ganhos em saúde nos doentes com o diagnóstico de enfermagem cuidar da higiene pessoal comprometido, após a intervenção do Enfermeiro Especialista em Enfermagem de Reabilitação (EEER). A pergunta de partida, que constitui o fio condutor do presente projeto de investigação, é: "Que influência têm as intervenções do enfermeiro de reabilitação na independência funcional do doente com diagnóstico de enfermagem cuidar da higiene pessoal comprometido?". Objetivo: O presente estudo tem como objetivo geral identificar a influência dos cuidados de reabilitação na independência funcional do doente com o diagnóstico de enfermagem cuidar da higiene pessoal comprometido. Metodologia: O estudo insere-se no paradigma quantitativo de tipo descritivo - correlacional e longitudinal. A amostra (N=18) é não probabilística, do tipo acidental, e foi aplicada aos doentes acometidos com AVC e com diagnóstico de enfermagem cuidar da higiene pessoal comprometido que se encontravam internados na unidade de AVC num hospital da região norte de Portugal, e que foram alvo dos cuidados de enfermagem de reabilitação. Os dados foram recolhidos através do questionário sociodemográfico e clínico e do instrumento para a avaliação do nível de dependência funcional (Índice de Barthel). Resultados: Dos 18 doentes, constatou-se que, na admissão, 94.4% apresentavam dependência grave no autocuidado cuidar da higiene pessoal (score total). Na alta, 50.0% adquiriram estado de totalmente independência. Foram necessários 5 a 26 dias para a aquisição da independência. Conclusão: As intervenções do EEER nos doentes acometidos com AVC, com o diagnóstico de enfermagem de cuidar da higiene pessoal comprometido influenciam os ganhos em saúde, resultando numa diminuição da dependência funcional dos participantes, para o autocuidado cuidar da higiene pessoal.


Background: Stroke is one of the main causes of mortality and disability, in daily life activities. Functional independence is one of the most important factors for individuals; thus, the focus of this work is to understand health acquisitions in patients with the nursing diagnosis "compromised take care of personal hygiene", after the intervention of a rehabilitation nursing specialist. A question emerges, as a starting point which led to this research, is: "How influent is the role of rehabilitation nursing specialist in the functional independence in individuals with the nursing diagnosis "compromised take care of personal hygiene?". Goal: The general aim of this study is to identify the influence of rehabilitation care on the functional independence of patients with nursing diagnosis "compromised take care of personal hygiene". Methodology: This study is placed in a quantitative template, with descriptive study type ­ correlational and longitudinal. The sample (N=18) is non-probabilistic, of accidental tipology, and was performed using patients affected with stroke who had the nursing diagnosis "compromised take care of personal hygiene" admitted in the stroke unit in a hospital from the northern region of Portugal, who were having rehabilitation nursing health care. Data were collected using a sociodemographic and clinical questionnaire and also using a specific tool to assess the level of functional dependence (Barthel Index). Results: Of the 18 patients, it was found that, upon admission, 94.4% had severe self-care dependence on personal hygiene (total score). At the high, 50.0% acquired a state of complete independence. It took 5 to 26 days for the acquisition of independence. Conclusion: The intervention of Rehabilitation Nursing Specialist in patients who suffered stroke with the nursing diagnosis "compromised taking care of personal hygiene" brings improvements to their health, such as a decrease in functional dependence for the self-care "take care of personal hygiene".

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Analisar a evolução da independência funcional de pacientes com Síndrome de Guillain-Barré (SGB) internados para reabilitação. Método: Estudo retrospectivo e longitudinal. Foram analisados prontuários de pacientes com diagnóstico de SGB internados para reabilitação, de janeiro de 2015 a março de 2020, que possuíam a Medida de Independência Funcional (MIF) na admissão e alta hospitalar devidamente preenchida, sem distinção de idade. A comparação da MIF antes e depois da internação para reabilitação foi feita por meio do teste t de Student e McNemar. Resultados: A amostra foi composta por 26 pacientes, com média de idade de 41,96 ± 19,67 anos. Os participantes tinham em média 66,07 ± 69,56 dias entre os primeiros sintomas e a admissão para internação para reabilitação. O tempo médio de internação foi de 38,96± 28,36 dias. Houve diferença significativa entre as médias das pontuações, na admissão e alta, nos domínios motor (37,58 - 59,62; p<0,001) e cognitivo (23,19 - 33,35; p<0,001) e escore total da MIF (60,77 - 92,96; p<0,001). Observou-se também aumento do número de pacientes com independência completa após internação para reabilitação (2 - 15; p<0,001). Conclusão: Pacientes com SGB internados para reabilitação apresentam melhora da independência funcional. É importante acesso a esta modalidade terapêutica multiprofissional aos pacientes com SGB.


Objective: To analyze the evolution of the functional independence of patients with Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) hospitalized for rehabilitation. Method: Retrospective and longitudinal study. Medical records of patients with diagnosis of GBS hospitalized for rehabilitation were analyzed, from January 2015 to March 2020, who had the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) at admission and hospital discharge duly filled, regardless of age. The comparison of FIM before and after hospitalization for rehabilitation was performed using Student's t-test and McNemar's test. Results: The sample consisted of 26 patients, with a mean age of 41.96 ± 19.67 years. Participants had a mean of 66.07 ± 69.56 days between the first symptoms and hospital admission for rehabilitation. The mean length of stay was 38.96 ± 28.36 days. There was a significant difference between the mean scores, at admission and discharge, in the motor domain (37.58-59.62; p<0.001) and cognitive domain (23.19-33.35; p<0.001) and total FIM score (60.77-92.96; p<0.001). There was also an increase in the number of patients with complete independence after hospitalization for rehabilitation (2-15; p<0.001). Conclusion: Patients with GBS hospitalized for rehabilitation show improved functional independence. Access to this multiprofessional therapeutic modality is important for patients with GBS.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: O processo de envelhecimento vem acompanhado de mudanças fisiológicas e estruturais, o isolamento social apresenta impacto negativo na vida dos longevos. Objetivo: Mapear as evidências sobre o impacto da pandemia da COVID-19 no estado funcional dos idosos. Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão de escopo, cuja pesquisa foi realizada até dia 27 de janeiro de 2022, em cinco bases de dados. Foram incluídos 22 estudos nesta revisão, majoritariamente, os artigos foram desenvolvidos na Espanha, Itália, Israel e Polônia. Quanto aos periódicos eram especializados em saúde do idoso, como também saúde pública, medicina geral e nutrição. Os estudos eram do tipo coorte, ensaio clínico randomizados, observações clínicas, exploratório, retrospectivos e prospectivos. Participaram desses estudos 8741 pessoas. Resultados: Esta revisão permitiu mapear os principais impactos da pandemia COVID-19 sobre o estado funcional dos idosos, ficou evidente nos estudos a vulnerabilidade dessa população à doença, foi identificado que a idade é um fator de risco para aumento da mortalidade e os idosos que apresentavam o estado funcional preservado pré-COVID-19 tiveram um melhor desfecho em relação à recuperação hospitalar como também pós-COVID.
