The goal of this work was to prove the usefulness of simple standard geriatrics tools as a predictors of basic daily activities or quality of life decline in one year in older patients apparent healthy to apply in primary care.
Prospective study of a randomised sample of 100 patients.
Urban primary care center.
A systematic sample of 100 patients of 75 years old or older, with Barthel index > or =90, Karnofsky scale > or =70 and without any neoformation process evaluated prospectively.
A comprehensive geriatric assessment was done that include: physical performance, neural-psychologist performance, organic assessment, social assessment. After 12 month were assessed again basic activities of daily living (Barthel) and quality of life (Karnofsky). To estimate the odds ratio (OR) of association we used logistic regression models.
The alterations in cognition trials (Pfeiffer >2) and in instrumental activities of daily living (Lawton <7) showed predictors about decline in basic activities of daily living (OR=4.66; CI, 1.33-16.22), (OR=4.89; CI, 1.65-14.48). The alterations in instrumental activities of daily living (Lawton <7) and in performance tests (abbreviated Guralnik test <4) showed predictors about decline in quality of life (OR=4.31; CI, 1.62-11.44), (OR=7.41; CI, 1.54-35.62).
In primary care geriatric assessment tools based in instrumental activities of daily living, cognition and performance tests predict decline in basic activities of daily living and quality of life.
本研究旨在证明简单的标准老年医学工具对于明显健康的老年患者在初级保健中预测其一年内基本日常活动或生活质量下降的有用性。
对100名患者的随机样本进行前瞻性研究。
城市初级保健中心。
系统抽取100名75岁及以上患者,巴氏指数≥90,卡氏评分≥70,且无任何新发病变过程,进行前瞻性评估。
进行全面的老年医学评估,包括:身体功能、神经心理学表现、器官评估、社会评估。12个月后再次评估日常生活基本活动(巴氏指数)和生活质量(卡氏评分)。为估计关联的比值比(OR),我们使用逻辑回归模型。
认知测试( Pfeiffer>2)和日常生活工具性活动(Lawton<7)的改变显示出预测日常生活基本活动下降的因素(OR = 4.66;CI,1.33 - 16.22),(OR = 4.89;CI,1.65 - 14.48)。日常生活工具性活动(Lawton<7)和性能测试(简化的Guralnik测试<4)的改变显示出预测生活质量下降的因素(OR = 4.31;CI,1.62 - 11.44),(OR = 7.41;CI,1.54 - 35.62)。
在初级保健中,基于日常生活工具性活动、认知和性能测试的老年医学评估工具可预测日常生活基本活动和生活质量的下降。
