Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) is decisive in patient-centered medicine of the aged individual, yet it is not systematically used.
The aim of this study was to provide precise practice-relevant time expenditure data for the Multidimensional Prognostic Index (MPI), a questionnaire-based frailty assessment tool.
MPI was determined in ninety older multimorbid adults in three geriatric departments (cohorts 1, 2 and 3). The time needed to perform the MPI (tnpMPI) was recorded in minutes. Follow-up data were collected after 6 months.
The median tnpMPI was 15.0 min (IQR 7.0) in the total collective. In the last visited cohort 3, the median was 10.0 min and differed significantly from cohorts 1 and 2 with medians of 15.5 and 15.0 (p < 0.001).
These findings indicate, that MPI, as a highly informative frailty tool of individualized medicine, can be performed in an adequately practicable time frame.
综合老年评估(CGA)对个体化老年医学至关重要,但并未系统应用。
本研究旨在为基于问卷的衰弱评估工具多维预后指数(MPI)提供精确的、与实践相关的时间消耗数据。
在三个老年医学科(队列 1、2 和 3)中,对 90 名患有多种合并症的老年人进行 MPI 测定。记录完成 MPI 所需的时间(tnpMPI),以分钟为单位。6 个月后收集随访数据。
总队列的中位 tnpMPI 为 15.0 分钟(IQR 7.0)。在最后一次访问的队列 3 中,中位值为 10.0 分钟,与队列 1 和 2 的中位值 15.5 和 15.0 相比存在显著差异(p < 0.001)。
这些发现表明,MPI 作为个体化医学中一种极具信息量的衰弱工具,可以在合理可行的时间内完成。
