Aim:
To compare the characteristics of participants who discontinued prematurely with those who remained in the ICOPE program (Integrated Care for Older PEople) in France and to compare completely adherent participants with partially adherent ones after 2 years of follow-up.
Design:
Retrospective observational study.
Methods:
We analysed the data of older age people participating during 2 years from the ICOPE MONITOR database. The study compared the population that discontinued follow-up with the population currently in follow-up. Among the population in follow-up, a comparison was made between the completely adherent and partially adherent populations.
Results:
In total, 8672 participants had a follow-up period of at least 2 years. After 2 years, three-quarters of the participants were still in follow-up with varying levels of adherence. Participants who discontinued follow-up are older and had more compromised Step 1 levels across all domains of intrinsic capacity (IC). Partially adherent participants were older and generally more compromised in IC than completely adherent participants. Those participants least adherent to ICOPE presented higher declines in clinical parameters.
Conclusion:
Among autonomous older age people, the most impaired in intrinsic capacity domains and aged participants were more likely to discontinue follow-up, highlighting the need to focus efforts on this group. On the other hand, younger robust and healthier older age people represent a good target for ICOPE program, in terms of adherence and primary prevention.
Reported Method:
EQUATOR guidelines: STROBE.
Patient Of Public Contribution:
No patient or public contribution.

Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...
