Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the connection between frailty in older adults and their risk of unplanned hospital readmissions over varying time frames, emphasizing the importance of identifying high-risk individuals.
- Researchers conducted a systematic review of studies published from 2011 to 2021, focusing on adults aged 65 and older, and analyzed data from 44 eligible studies across 16 countries.
- Findings revealed that a significant percentage (up to 84.5%) of frail older adults experience unplanned readmissions, with specific assessment tools like the Hospital Frailty Risk Score and Clinical Frailty Scale being most effective for predicting this risk.

The geriatric failure to thrive, a controversial French concept not present in the international literature, was first characterized by Jean Carrié in 1956. It is described as a process of aging and physical and psychological decline associated with advanced age, manifesting as a pronounced overall deterioration. In this case report, we present the case of an 88-year-old patient, admitted to a general medicine service for geriatric failure to thrive, whose management eventually leads to the diagnosis of endocarditis with digestive cancer complicated by a characterized depressive episode.

Case Presentation: We report a case of an immunocompromised patient who was treated for mantle cell lymphoma and was suffering from B-cell depletion. The patient developed persistent COVID-19, which was confirmed by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) tests in only sputum and bronchoalveolar fluid which remained positive for at least 112 days.
