Kırılgan hastalar tüm sağlık çalışanları için takip ve tedavide en karmaşık ve en zorlayıcı sorunlara neden olan hasta grubunu oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı; üç farklı kırılganlık ölçeği kullanılarak 65 yaş ve üstündeki hastanede yatan geriatrik hastalarda kırılganlık prevalansının araştırılmasıdır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışma iç hastalıkları ve geriatri kliniklerinde yatan 65 yaş ve üstündeki hastalarda yapılmıştır. Çalışmaya 399 hasta dahil edilmiştir. Hastalarda kırılganlık prevalansının belirlenmesinde, Cardiovaskuler Health Study (CHS), Woman's Health and Aging Study (WHAS) ve Gerontopole kırılganlık ölçekleri kullanılmıştır. CHS ve WHAS ölçeklerinde beş kriterden üçü patolojik olanlar, Gerontopole ölçeğinde ise altı kriterden biri patolojik olan hastalar kırılgan kabul edilmiştir.

The aim of the current study is to investigate the prevalence of frailty and to determine the correlation between quality of life (QoL) and falling risk in geriatric hospitalized patients. Materials and methods: A total of 420 patients, aged 65 years and above, were enrolled in the study. All participants were hospitalized at a university hospital in the internal medicine clinics. The Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS) frailty scale, Health-Related Quality of Life Short Form (SF-36) scale, and Hendrich II Fall Risk Model were administered to the patients. Demographic data of patients, number of chronic diseases, and information on used medication were also collected. Results: The median age of patients was 71.9 ± 6.3 years and 49.5% of the patients were female. By applying the CHS frailty scale, the proportion of frail patients was determined to be 65.5%. There were statistically significant differences among quality of life mean scores of robust, prefrail, and frail patients (P < 0.001). Frail patients had the lowest scores in all SF-36 subgroups. Eighty-three (19.8%) patients were in the low-risk group while 337 (80.2%) were high-risk according to the Hendrich II Fall Risk Model. The rate of patients with high falling risk and poor QoL reached a maximum in the frail group (96%). Conclusion: Frailty is an important geriatric syndrome in elderly hospitalized patients. Poor QoL and high falling risk are issues commonly experienced with frailty.
