Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the cognitive frailty of inpatients in Department of Geriatrics and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. Using the convenient sampling method, inpatients in Department of Geriatrics who were treated in Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University were selected from June 2019 to June 2020. A total of 486 elderly patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria completed the questionnaire survey, physical examination and laboratory examination. The FRAIL Frailty Assessment Scale and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) were used to evaluate cognitive frailty. Single factor analysis and Logistic regression were used to analyze the influencing factors of cognitive frailty in elderly inpatients.Results:The age of the survey subjects was (77.99±10.47) years old and the prevalence of cognitive impairment was 37.45% (182/486) . Logistic regression analysis showed that patients with a history of falls within 1 year, drinking, older age, anemia and ADL decline had a higher risk of cognitive impairment ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The incidence of cognitive frailty is higher in elderly inpatients. Reducing the risk of falls, abstaining from alcohol, improving anemia and intervening to improve the ability of self-care in daily life may help to improve the cognitive frailty of the elderly.
