Article Abstract
Unlabelled: The prevalence of frailty determines the proportion of the population that will experience intercurrent events and dependency. The aim was to assess the prevalence and factors associated with frailty using the modified SEGA grid.
Method: This was a cross-sectional descriptive study. The primary endpoint was frailty, assessed using the modified SEGA grid.
Results: The prevalence of frail and very frail people was jointly estimated at 33%. In multivariate analysis, gender, lifestyle and marital status did not appear to be associated with frailty. However, the IAVL score was associated with frailty OR=0.21 (95% CI 0.06 to 0.68; p=0.009). EVS is also associated with frailty for mild pain OR= 12.12 (95% CI 2.49 to 59.08; p=0.007).
Conclusion: Our results independently show the association between IAVL and frailty, with a one-unit increase in IAVL score being less associated with frailty.

Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion vs Anticoagulants in Dialysis With Atrial Fibrillation.

Importance: Patients with kidney failure (KF) receiving long-term dialysis have increased incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF). Patients with KF and AF have increased risk of stroke, death, and bleeding compared with age-matched cohorts. In KF, the use of oral anticoagulants (OACs) increases hemorrhage risk, offsetting potential benefits and making left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) a potentially promising solution for risk reduction in AF.

Background: Although oral diseases and frailty can be met earlier in life, there is limited information on their association across the lifespan.
Objectives: To scope for the association of oral factors with physical frailty in Greek community-dwelling adults.
Methods: Participants were over 18 years of age with ≥ 20 natural teeth, ≥ 10 occlusal contacts, and no removable dentures.
Backgrounds: Incidence of malignant disease in older patients has been increasing. These geriatric patients have more comorbidities and frailty than younger patients, necessitating different approaches in evaluation and treatment. Geriatric surgery studies in Japan have followed those conducted in the US.
