Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

308
Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology and Public Health
  • Health Services Research
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Frailty is a critical geriatric syndrome impacting health outcomes and healthcare utilization.
  • Accurate identification of frailty in population-based studies is essential for public health planning.
  • Existing frailty measures may not be readily applicable to administrative health data for both living and deceased persons.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate frailty identification rules using readily available population-based health administrative data.
  • To enable consistent frailty assessment across jurisdictions for both living and deceased individuals.
  • To assess the prevalence of frailty in decedent and living populations using the developed rules.

Main Methods:

  • Developed three frailty identification rules based on established frailty definitions, service utilization markers, and expert consensus.
  • Utilized variables from hospital discharge abstracts and physician claims data, common administrative health databases.
  • Applied the rules to identify frail individuals aged 65+ (living) and 66+ (deceased) across five Canadian provinces.

Main Results:

  • The developed frailty identification rules were successfully applied to identify frail persons in both living and decedent populations.
  • Proportions of identified frail persons varied significantly: 58.2-78.1% for decedents and 5.1-14.7% for living individuals.
  • The rules demonstrated feasibility for use with common administrative health databases across multiple Canadian provinces.

Conclusions:

  • Population-based health administrative data can be effectively utilized to develop robust frailty identification rules.
  • These rules offer a practical approach for consistent frailty assessment in large-scale epidemiological and public health research.
  • The findings highlight the potential for administrative data to inform frailty prevalence estimates and guide health service delivery.
