Effect of frailty on the short-term functional outcome of elderly patients with traumatic brain injury by Yujing Gu, Huiqin Cui, Yang Gu, Xiaojiang Liu

“…[Results] Among the 127 elderly patients with traumatic brain injury, 48 cases had frailty.A total of 34 patients died during hospitalization, and 63 patients had poor neurological outcome at 3 months follow-up.Compared with the non-frailty group, the frailty group was older, had a higher mortality rate during hospitalization, and had a higher proportion of poor neurological prognosis at 3 months after onset (P<0.05).Multivariate logistics regression analysis shows that age >75 years old, higher Glasgow coma score and clinical frailty score ≥5 were independent risk factors for poor neurological prognosis in elderly patients with traumatic brain injury at 3 months onset.The results of the ROC curve indicated that the area under the curve of the Glasgow coma score predicting poor neurological prognosis in elderly patients with traumatic brain injury at 3 months after onset was 0.643 (95%CI:0.532-0.727), which was increased to 0.874 (95%CI:0.782-0.931) when indicators of patient age, Glasgow coma score and clinical frailty score were applied. …”
