Intervention Study on the Geriatric Frailty Patients Based on Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment
Objective Comprehensive geriatric assessment(CGA)was used to intervene in geriatric frailty patients,to provide a reference for developing intervention measures for geriatric patients.Methods A total of 157 elderly patients admitted to the Second De-partment of Comprehensive Internal Medicine,People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region between January 2020 and Decem-ber 2020 were selected as research subjects,and they were randomly divided into experimental group(n=79)and control group(n=78).Patients in the control group received conventional treatment,while patients in the experimental group received comprehensive inter-vention measures based on the control group.After a 12-month follow-up period,clinical indicators,economic indicators,patient satis-faction,and mortality rate were assessed.Results Following the 12-month intervention period,both daily living ability score and nutri-tional score significantly improved in the experimental group compared to the control group(P<0.05).Additionally,frailty scores were lower in the experimental group than that in the control group.The number of patients experiencing chronic pain and depression was signif-icantly reduced in the experimental group compared to the control group.Moreover,more patients in the experimental group reported good sleep quality compared to the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Compared with the control group,the number of outpatient visits within one year was increased in the experimental group,the cost of outpatient visits within one year was de-creased,readmission rate within one year were reduced.and the satisfaction of patients was also significantly increased.the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Comprehensive intervention for geriatric frailty patients based on CGA can improve the quality of life of geriatric frailty patients after one year.
