Identify whether Heart Failure (HF) is a predictor of functional dependence for Basic Activities of Daily Living (BADL) in hospitalized elderly.
We investigated medical records and assessed dependence to BADL (by the Katz Index) of 100 elderly admitted to a geriatric ward of a university hospital. In order to verify if HF is a predictor of functional dependence, linear regression analyzes were performed.
The prevalence of HF was 21%; 95% of them were dependent for BADLs. Bathing was the most committed ADL. HF is a predictor of dependence in hospitalized elderlies, increasing the chance of functional decline by 5 times (95% CI, 0.94-94.48), the chance of functional deterioration by 3.5 times (95% CI, 1.28-11.66; p <0.02) and reducing 0.79 points in the Katz Index score (p <0.05).
HF is a dependency predictor of ADL in hospitalized elderly, who tend to be more dependent, especially for bathing.
确定心力衰竭（HF）是否是住院老年人日常生活基本活动（BADL）功能依赖的预测指标。
我们调查了100名入住大学医院老年病房的老年人的病历，并通过Katz指数评估其对BADL的依赖程度。为了验证HF是否是功能依赖的预测指标，我们进行了线性回归分析。
HF的患病率为21%；其中95%的人依赖BADL。洗澡是最常受影响的日常生活活动。HF是住院老年人依赖的预测指标，使功能下降的几率增加5倍（95%可信区间，0.94 - 94.48），功能恶化的几率增加3.5倍（95%可信区间，1.28 - 11.66；p <0.02），并使Katz指数评分降低0.79分（p <0.05）。
HF是住院老年人ADL依赖的预测指标，这些老年人往往更依赖他人，尤其是在洗澡方面。
