Evaluating frailty in elderly patients undergoing heart procedures

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess the impact of frailty on the outcomes of invasive treatments for coronary artery disease in elderly patients aged 65 and older. It utilizes the Fried frailty scale and the instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) scale to evaluate patients admitted for symptomatic coronary artery disease, including stable and unstable conditions. The study will analyze the distribution of frailty scores before hospital discharge and investigate their prognostic significance regarding treatment results and complications. By understanding frailty in this context, the study seeks to improve treatment selection and follow-up care for these patients.
