"Many ideas in the analysis of heterogeneous mortality are based on the relationship between individual and observed hazard rates. This connection is established with the help of conditional averaging procedure: The observed risk of death at age x is calculated among those who survive this age. The analogy of this result for bivariate survival model with correlated individual hazards is derived. In the case of correlated frailty model the parametric specification of the mean, variance and correlation coefficient of the bivariate frailty distribution among survivors is obtained. The relationship between local association measure and the characteristics of the bivariate frailty distribution among survivors is established." (SUMMARY IN FRE)

: In Portugal, evidence regarding the mental health of institutionalized older people is limited, leaving this area poorly described and the mental health needs of this population largely unknown. This research aims to describe the mental health of older persons residing in nursing homes in Northern Portugal. : A cross-sectional study will be conducted.

Background: The co-occurrence of frailty, sarcopenia and malnutrition has been well studied in inpatient and nursing home settings, which are associated with a higher risk of all-cause mortality. However, multicentre data from community-dwelling outpatient settings are lacking. Therefore, we aimed to find the prevalence of frailty, possible sarcopenia and malnutrition, their overlap, and the associated factors in community-dwelling older outpatients.

Introduction: Frailty is an age-related state of multi-system decline that has been associated with negative outcomes after surgery. Numerous methods have been utilized to quantify frailty and predict postoperative outcomes with variable results. The purpose of this study is to determine if the Hospital Frailty Risk Score (HFRS) is an independent predictor of postoperative complications and increased healthcare costs following elective primary total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA).

Introduction: The adequacy of blood flow from the leptomeningeal collaterals is considered one of the most important factors determining the rate of infarct progression and response to acute stroke treatments in the setting of large vessel occlusions. Several patient-related variables, including age, vascular risk factors, and laboratory parameters, have been proposed to explain the interindividual variability of collateral flow among stroke patients. This study aimed to assess how pre-stroke frailty, an aging-related syndrome characterized by a loss in the physiologic reserve of numerous body functions, affected the degree of leptomeningeal collateral flow in the setting of acute ischemic stroke.
