Evaluation of Nutritional Status in an Acute Geriatric Unit: Retrospective Study and Analysis of Frailty Syndrome.

Introduction: The aim of our study is to evaluate the nutritional status of patients in an acute geriatric unit.

Methods: Patients included in the study were hospitalized in an acute geriatric unit over a period of 6 months. The nutritional status of each patient was evaluated with anthropometric measurements (the BMI and MNA scales), and biological measurements (albumin).

Zulfiqar Frailty Scale (ZFS): Concordance Study with the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS).

Introduction: We designed a new scale for the rapid detection of frailty for use in primary care, referred to as the Zulfiqar Frailty Scale (ZFS). Objective: To evaluate the performance of the “ZFS” tool to screen for frailty as defined in the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) criteria in an ambulatory population of patients at least 75 years old. Method: A prospective study conducted in Alsace, France, for a duration of 6 months that included patients aged 75 and over was judged to be autonomous with an ADL (Activity of Daily Living) > 4/6.

Physical Activity in the Elderly and Frailty Syndrome: A Retrospective Study in Primary Care.

Objectives: Physical activity carries numerous therapeutic benefits, and it is more effective when applied before the onset of symptoms. The objective of this study is to compare the correlation of the evaluation of physical activity carried out using the Ricci and Gagnon test and the frailty profile measured by the mSEGA scale in a population of patients consulting in general medicine.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study within a general practitioner clinic in Chaumont and Bologne (Haute-Marne department) during a 3-month period.

Association of Frailty Status with Risk of Fall among Hospitalized Elderly Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study in an Acute Geriatric Unit.

Introduction: The objective was to study the association of frailty status in hospitalized elderly patients with risk of fall in an acute geriatric unit and to characterize elderly “fallers” using a comprehensive gerontological assessment. Patients and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in patients over 65 years of age and hospitalized in an acute geriatric unit. This work was carried out in the Acute Geriatric Medicine Unit, Saint-Julien Hospital, Center Hospitalier Universitaire de Rouen from 1 June 2016 to 15 August 2016.
