Official title
Update on the Detection of Frailty in Older Adults: A Multicenter Cohort Machine Learning-Based Study
About this study
The present cohort study will be conducted in 500 older adults diagnosed with frailty. The correlation of the demographic variables, physical functionality tests and psychoemotional constructs that will be analyzed in this study with the ultrasound image obtained from the patients will improve the ultrasound diagnosis of frailty, providing new information that will facilitate the work of healthcare personnel in the diagnosis and management of frailty. Similarly, the use of Machine Learning will allow institutions to extract data on different patient profiles, signs and symptoms of frailty and the different risk factors that affect frailty patients, which will improve treatments and favor the development of educational programs tailored to the patient's needs.
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion Criteria: A diagnosis of signs and symptoms of frailty by a geriatric physician in the research group will be used as the primary inclusion criterion. Frailty will be assessed and diagnosed using the frailty phenotype and the Clinical Frailty Scale. Exclusion Criteria: * Acute myocardial infarction in the last 3 months and/or unstable angina pectoris * Uncontrolled arrhythmia, recent thromboembolism and terminal illness. * Patients undergoing MMII unloading or MMSS/MMII fractures in the last three months. * Patients with a functional gait index of 1 (Inability to walk) * Severe pain (7/10 VAS) * Previous neuromuscular pathology presenting with weakness * Medication that does not allow the patient's actual muscle reaction to be assessed * Severe cognitive impairment that would prevent collaboration and understanding of the tests to be performed. * Cardiovascularly unstable patients and uncontrolled arterial hypertension.
