OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the prevalence and one-year prognosis associated with frailty in a contemporary cohort of older patients with non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTEACS). METHODS: The IMPACT-TIMING-GO registry (IMPACT of Time of Intervention in patients with Myocardial Infarction with Non-ST seGment elevation. ManaGement and Outcomes) prospectively included 1020 patients with NSTEACS undergoing invasive coronary angiography between April and May 2021. For this sub-study, patients ≥ 65 years were selected. Frailty was assessed according to FRAIL scale. We studied all-cause mortality and the composite of all-cause mortality or all-cause hospitalizations at one-year follow-up after discharge. RESULTS: Five hundred and sixty seven patients (mean age: 75.8 ± 6.7 years, 28.2% women) were included: 316 (55.7%) were robust, 183 (32.3%) prefrail, and 68 (12.0%) frail. Frail patients were significantly older, more often women, and presented a worse baseline clinical profile. There were no differences among groups regarding pretreatment with a P2Y12 inhibitor. An urgent angiography (< 24 h) was less frequently performed in frail patients, with no differences regarding revascularization approach or in main in-hospital adverse events, although acute kidney disease occurred more frequently in frail patients. At 1-year follow-up, 20 patients died (3.6%). Chronic kidney disease was independently associated with 1-year all-cause death, although a trend towards higher mortality was observed in frail patients (HR = 3.01; 95% CI: 0.93-9.78; P = 0.065). Frailty was independently associated with higher 1-year all-cause mortality or all-cause rehospitalizations (HR = 2.23; 95% CI: 1.43-3.46; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS In older patients with NSTEACS, frailty independently associates higher all-cause mortality or all-cause hospital admissions at one-year follow-up.

Objective: Our aim was to reach a consensus on the management of the most controversial issues of advanced ovarian cancer. Methods: Nominal group and Delphi techniques were used. A steering committee of 5 experts analyzed current management of advanced ovarian cancer, identified controversies, critically analyzed the evidence, and formulated guiding statements for clinicians. Subsequently, a panel of 15 experts was selected to test agreement with the statements through two Delphi rounds. Items were scored on a 4-point Likert scale from 1 (totally disagree) to 4 (totally agree). In the first and second rounds, consensus was considered if ≥70% of answers pertained to category 1 or category 4. Results: Overall, 112 statements were incorporated in the following areas: 1) biomarkers and hereditary ovarian cancer; 2) first-line treatment; 3) recurrent disease when platinum might be the best option; and 4) post-poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors setting. In the first Delphi round, 37 statements reached consensus and did thus not pass to the second round. After the second round, another 18 statements reached consensus. Forty-six of the consensus were with the agreement and 9 with the disagreement. Conclusion Through the methodology used, a consensus was reached in approximately half of the statements. The results of this work may be useful in addressing the most controversial issues on the management of advanced ovarian cancer.
