The role of activities of daily living (ADL) as a predictor of adverse outcomes in patients with pneumonia is unclear. This study aimed to assess the association between ADL, including physical and cognitive function, and death or readmission in older inpatients with pneumonia.
This retrospective, single-center, observational study included consecutive older inpatients with pneumonia between October 2018 and December 2019. ADL was assessed using the Functional Independence Measure (FIM). Functional decline during hospitalization was defined as a decrease of at least 1 point in FIM at discharge from admission. The primary outcome was the time to composite 180-day mortality and readmission from any cause after discharge.
In total, 363 patients (median [interquartile range] age: 80 [73-86] years, male: 68 %) were divided according to the median FIM scores (≥100, n = 183 and < 100, n = 180). Among the patients, 25 experienced functional decline during hospitalization, 69 were readmitted, and 17 died. In the Kaplan-Meier analysis, both the lower FIM group and the functional decline group had significantly lower event-free rates than the higher FIM groups and the non-functional decline groups (log-rank test, p < 0.001), respectively. After multivariate analysis, both the lower FIM (adjusted HR, 2.11; 95 % CI, 1.24-3.58; p = 0.006) and functional decline (adjusted HR, 3.18; 95 % CI, 1.44-7.05; p = 0.005) were significantly associated with the primary outcome.
In older patients hospitalized with pneumonia, ADL limitations at discharge and a decline in ADL were associated with poor outcomes.
日常生活活动（ADL）作为肺炎患者不良结局的预测因素的作用尚不清楚。本研究旨在评估 ADL（包括身体和认知功能）与老年肺炎住院患者死亡或再入院之间的关系。
这是一项回顾性、单中心、观察性研究，纳入了 2018 年 10 月至 2019 年 12 月间连续收治的老年肺炎住院患者。使用功能独立性测量量表（FIM）评估 ADL。住院期间功能下降定义为入院时 FIM 评分至少下降 1 分。主要结局是出院后 180 天复合死亡率和任何原因再入院的时间。
共纳入 363 例患者（中位数[四分位间距]年龄：80[73-86]岁，男性：68%），根据 FIM 中位数评分（≥100，n=183 和＜100，n=180）进行分组。其中，25 例患者住院期间出现功能下降，69 例患者再入院，17 例患者死亡。在 Kaplan-Meier 分析中，FIM 评分较低组和功能下降组的无事件生存率明显低于 FIM 评分较高组和无功能下降组（对数秩检验，p＜0.001）。多变量分析后，FIM 评分较低（调整后的 HR，2.11；95%CI，1.24-3.58；p=0.006）和功能下降（调整后的 HR，3.18；95%CI，1.44-7.05；p=0.005）均与主要结局显著相关。
在因肺炎住院的老年患者中，出院时的 ADL 限制和 ADL 下降与不良结局相关。
