Objective: Recent research has explored frailty in systemic lupus erythematosus using multiple measures. We examined the agreement among frailty measures and the association of each with cross-sectional and longitudinal health outcomes.

Methods: We used data from the California Lupus Epidemiology Study to examine the following measures of frailty: Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC) Frailty Index (SLICC-FI), Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), and Fatigue, Resistance, Ambulation, Illness, and Loss of Weight (FRAIL) scale questionnaire.

Article Synopsis
  • The study followed up on irradiated breast cancer patients who had undergone reconstruction using DIEP and LD flaps over a period of 12 years, assessing 67% of the original participants.
  • Patient-reported outcomes and aesthetic evaluations were measured, showing no significant differences between the two reconstruction methods in satisfaction, but highlighting that DIEP patients valued breast aesthetics more highly.
  • The findings indicated a shift in patient preference from LD to DIEP flaps over time, emphasizing the relevance of long-term studies in understanding satisfaction and outcomes in breast reconstruction.
