Geriatric Assessment
• Geriatric Assessment is a systematic, interprofessional
approach to the older patient
– Diagnose geriatric syndromes
– Develop targeted treatment plans
– Improve patient outcomes
• Focus on function and quality of life
• Not based on chronological age but functional impairment
and risk of future decline
Rapid Geriatric Assessment
• Early detection of health problems when interventions are
most likely to be successful
• Used for common geriatric problems
• Ideally provide a brief, reliable method for detecting
common problems
• Track changes over time

Jill was a very successful stockbroker. She made a lot of money on the stock market. She then met Jack, a
devastatingly handsome man. She married him and had three children. They lived in Chicago. She then
stopped work and stayed at home to bring up her children. When they were teenagers, she went back to
work. She and Jack lived happily ever after.

Predicting Adverse Health Outcomes in Nursing Homes: A 9-Year Longitudinal Study and Development of the FRAIL-Minimum Data Set (MDS) Quick Screening Tool

Objectives
• To examine the predictive validity of a quick frailty screening tool, the FRAIL-NH, for adverse health outcomes in nursing home residents, using variables from the Minimum Data Set (MDS).
• The screening items were compiled from the MDS for potential direct application in long-term care facilities using this health information system.
Design
Longitudinal follow-up study of nursing home
residents with annual clinical assessment using the
MDS and mortality data between 2005 and 2013.
SettingSix nursing homes operated by a nongovernmental organization in Hong Kong.
ParticipantsParticipants included 2380 nursing home residents aged 65 years or older at study baseline.
MeasurementsFrailty assessed using the FRAIL-NH model with items from the MDS. The model covers 8 areas: fatigue, resistance, ambulation, incontinence, polypharmacy, weight loss, nutritional approach, and help with dressing. Adverse health outcomes in subsequent years were measured: incident falls, worsening activities of daily living (ADL) function, hospitalization, and death.
Fatigue was measured by the presence of (1) periods of lethargy and (2) depressive symptoms in MDS.
Resistance was assessed using the “transfer” item in MDS, which is a proxy measure that reflects functional status of whether support was needed to move between surfaces (eg, to/from the bed, chair, wheelchair, or standing position).
Ambulation was measured using the “walk in room” item in the MDS, which records the person's performance in walking between locations in a room.
Incontinence was measured in terms of both urinary and bowel incontinence. A score of 0 indicates continence, 1 indicating only urinary or bowel incontinence, and 2 for both urinary and bowel incontinence.
Illness (polypharmacy): following Kaehr and colleagues, illnesses was used as a proxy
Weight loss was measured using the “weight change” item in MDS, which captures whether there had been a weight loss of 5% or more in the past 30 days or 10% or more in the past 180 days.
Nutritional approach was assessed in MDS according to whether a resident had a mechanically altered diet or used a feeding tube
Help with dressing was assessed using the “dressing” item in MDS, which reflects whether support was needed to put on, fasten, and take off all items of street clothing, including donning or removing a prosthesis

Journal of the American Medical Directors Association, Volume 16, Issue 12, 2015, 1042–1047
Using a cut-off point of 4, being frail was associated with a 176% higher risk of mortality in the total sample (HR, 2.76; 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.13-3.57)Similar results were obtained in the no ADL dependence group, with an HR of being frail of 2.00 (95% CI, 1.41-2.83).
FRAIL-MDS predicts Mortality: Hong Kong
A frail resident was twice as likely to experience incident fall (HR, 2.00; 95% CI, 1.41-2.83)hospitalization(HR, 2.35; 95% CI, 1.57-3.54), worsening ADL (HR, 3.73; 95% CI, 2.69-5.16),
FRAIL-NH Hong KongConclusions
• The FRAIL-NH, has been validated with demonstrated predictive power for major adverse health outcomes.
• The tool provides a simple solution to identify residents who are at risk of becoming frail, with minimal extra resources required or assessment burden in long-term care facilities using the MDS health information system.
• This will allow timely intervention of the potentially reversible target of frailty.
• Although it remains an open question as to what extent early indicators of frailty are reversible in a nursing home population, by identifying residents at the highest risk, interventions to prevent poor outcomes can be provided in a timely manner.
