Article Abstract
Background: Radical cystectomy is still the gold standard for muscle-invasive bladder carcinoma (MIBC) treatment. In order to reduce postoperative complications, multimodality bladder-sparing therapies could be a good alternative. Studies in various malignancies have shown that the modified Frailty Index (mFI) may be more useful for identifying high-risk patients.
Objectives: We investigated the possible correlation between the mFI in cystectomy patients with MIBC and serious complications 30 and 90 days postoperatively.
Methods: Analysis of a prospective database of 109 consecutive MIBC patients who underwent a cystectomy between January 2012 and August 2017 was performed. The mFI was added retrospectively. Differences between groups were tested with independent t-tests, Mann-Whitney U tests, ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis test, or Chi square tests as appropriate. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed to analyse the relation between the mFI and complications.
Results: Patients with Clavien-Dindo ≥ 3 at 30 and 90 days postoperatively had a significantly higher mFI compared to patients with Clavien-Dindo < 3: the odds ratio of the mFI for serious complications within 30 days was 1.5 (95% confidence interval 1.1-2.1, p = 0.010) and for 90 days was 1.5 (95% confidence interval 1.1-2.1, p = 0.008).
Conclusions: We found an association between a high mFI and postoperative complications and mortality. The mFI is therefore useful when discussing treatment options with MIBC patients.

Analysis of safety of carotid endarterectomy in nonagenarians and the implications of frailty - A National surgical quality improvement program analysis.

Background: Carotid artery stenosis prevalence increases with age, and carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is a possible treatment option. However, nonagenarians are at high risk of experiencing postoperative complications and are often not considered surgical candidates. We aimed to identify risk factors associated with postoperative myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, and death within 30 days for nonagenarians undergoing CEA and to analyze the predictive ability of modified frailty indices (mFI) in predicting adverse outcomes for this population.

Background: Declines in intrinsic capacity have been associated with increased risks of frailty, disability, and hospitalisation. We estimated population attributable fractions (PAFs) for these outcomes with respect to intrinsic capacity-related conditions and traditional modifiable risk factors in different age groups.
Methods: We analysed data from a territory-wide, multicentre, community-based, prospective cohort study (2023-24) in Hong Kong.

Objectives: Escherichia coli bacteraemias have been under mandatory surveillance in the UK for fifteen years, but cases continue to rise. Systematic searches of all features present within electronic healthcare records (EHRs), described here as an EHR-wide association study (EHR-WAS), could potentially identify under-appreciated factors that could be targeted to reduce infections.
Methods: We used data from Oxfordshire, UK, and an EHR-WAS method developed for use with large-scale COVID-19 data to estimate associations between E.
Unlabelled: The childhood poor in wealthy countries have reported worse cognitive, muscle and mental functions as well as more frailty and multimorbidity as older adults. But it is uncertain whether the childhood poor around the world fall short of attaining healthy ageing because information of childhood conditions is often erroneous. Here I present new evidence on the life course shaping of healthy ageing among older adults around the world.

Nutrition is considered to play a key role in the multifactorial development of frailty. Conversely, frailty also affects nutrition. The aim of this article is to describe the interactions between these two entities in detail and to derive nutritional recommendations.
