Background: Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a pathological fibroinflammatory response to persistent inflammation or stress to the pancreas. The effect of frailty on outcomes in patients with CP has not been previously examined. In this study, we examined the effect of frailty on outcomes in hospitalized patients with CP.
Methods: Records of patients with a primary or secondary discharge diagnosis of CP (ICD10-CM codes K86.0, K86.1) between January 2016 and December 2019 were obtained from the National Inpatient Sample database. Data were collected on patient demographics, hospital characteristics, comorbidities, and etiology of CP. The relationship between frailty and outcomes, including mortality, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, sepsis, shock, length of stay (LOS), and total hospitalization charges (THC), were analyzed using multivariate analysis.
Results: 722,160 patients were included in the analysis. Patients with a high hospital frailty risk score had a higher mortality risk (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 12.57, 95% confidence interval [CI] 10.42-15.16; P<0.001) compared to patients with low frailty scores. Patients with high frailty scores also had a higher risk of sepsis (aOR 5.75, 95%CI 4.97-6.66; P<0.001), shock (aOR- 26.25, 95%CI-22.83-30.19; P<0.001), ICU admission (aOR 25.86, 95% CI-22.58-29.62; P<0.001), and acute kidney injury (aOR 24.4, 95%CI 22.39-26.66; P<0.001). They also had a longer LOS (7.04 days, 95%CI 6.57-7.52; P<0.001) and higher THC ($72,200, 95%CI 65,904.52-78,496.66; P<0.001).
Conclusions: Frail patients, as determined by their hospital frailty risk score, are at high risk of worse outcomes. This data suggests opportunities for physicians to risk-stratify patients and predict outcomes.

Using the hospital frailty risk score to assess oesophago-gastric cancer patient outcomes: a retrospective cohort study.
Int J Surg

Department of Upper Gastrointestinal Surgery, Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, London, United Kingdom.
Background: The inclusion of clinical frailty in the assessment of patients planned for major surgery has proven to be an independent predictor of outcome. Since approximately half of all patients in the UK diagnosed with oesophagogastric (OG) cancer are over 75 years of age, assessment of frailty may be important in selection for surgery.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort study applied the Hospital Frailty Risk Score to data obtained from the NHS Secondary Uses Service electronic database for patients aged 75 years or older undergoing oesophagectomy and gastrectomy between April 2017 and March 2020.
Resilience to stressors has emerged as a major gerontological concept aiming to promote more positive outcomes for older adults. Achieving this aim relies on determining mechanisms underlying capacity to respond resiliently. This paper seeks proof of principle for the hypothesis that physical aspects of said capacity are rooted in the fitness of one's physiology governing stress response, conceptualized as a dynamical system.

Introduction: Kidney failure is a life-limiting condition that profoundly impacts an individual's quality of life. The significant medication burden on patients required to manage the comorbidities and complications of kidney failure can have implications for patient-reported and clinical outcomes.
Methods: This work systematically reviewed methods used to assess medication regimen complexity amongst adults with kidney failure, the associated patient-reported and clinical outcomes, and the effectiveness of interventions to address regimen complexity.
Background: Although frailty assessment is crucial for understanding critically ill patients' prognosis, traditional frailty measures require substantial efforts and time from health care professionals. To address this limitation, the laboratory frailty index (FI-LAB) based on laboratory clinical data was developed. However, knowledge regarding its correlation with health outcomes among critically ill older patients is limited.

Background: Despite a wealth of literature on marital dissatisfaction and adverse health outcomes, little is known about the relationship between marital dissatisfaction and frailty in older adults.
Methods: This longitudinal study utilised the data of 11 174 individuals who participated in the biennial Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing survey from 2006 to 2020 and were aged ≥45 during the initial wave. Frailty was measured using a frailty instrument, which utilised exhaustion, social isolation, and handgrip strength weakness.
