Abstract 4141973: Comparison of Six Physical Frailty Assessments in Adults with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction

Conference Circulation · November 12, 2024 Background: Frailty is a known prognostic marker of adverse outcomes in adults with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF); however, there are over 60 frailty assessment tools and no s ... Full text Cite

Abstract P471: Predictors of Referral to Community-Based Rehabilitation Following Stroke

Conference Circulation · February 28, 2023 Background: While several studies have examined care transitions following stroke, few have assessed use of rehabilitation. We explored factors predictive of referral to community-based rehabilitation ... Full text Cite

Geriatric Assessment Identifies Impairments in Younger Candidates for Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Conference Blood · November 13, 2019 Introduction: Geriatric assessment (GA) is a multidimensional evaluation of patient health and function that may detect impairments not identified as part of routine care, predict treatment-related morbidity and mortality, and inform treatment plan ...

Physical Function, Frailty, Cognition, Depression, and Quality of Life in Hospitalized Adults ≥60 Years With Acute Decompensated Heart Failure With Preserved Versus Reduced Ejection Fraction.

Conference Circ Heart Fail · November 2018 BACKGROUND: Older hospitalized acute decompensated heart failure (HF) patients have persistently poor outcomes and delayed recovery regardless of ejection fraction (EF). We hypothesized that impairments in physical function, frailty, cognition, mood, and q ... Full text Link to item Cite
