Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the current status of frailty of elderly patients with chronic wounds and analyze the influencing factors, in order to provide reference for the assessment and prevention of frailty in elderly patients with chronic wounds.

Methods

From May 2022 to September 2023, 154 elderly patients with chronic wounds treated at the Wound Care Center of West China Hospital, Sichuan University were selected by convenience sampling method.General information questionnaire, FRAIL scale, and the pressure ulcer scale for healing were used to investigate.Analyzed the incidence of frailty in elderly patients with chronic wounds, and Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of frailty in elderly patients with chronic wounds.

Results

Among the 154 elderly patients with chronic wounds, there were 23 cases of non-frailty, 66 cases of pre-frailty, and 65 cases of frailty.The incidence of non-frailty, pre-frailty and frailty were 14.9%, 42.9% and 42.2%, respectively.Multivariable Logistic regression analysis showed that the self-care ability, mobility, wound type and polypharmacy were independent influencing factors of frailty in elderly patients with chronic wounds(P<0.05).

Conclusion

The incidence of frailty and prefrailty is higher among elderly patients with chronic wounds, those who are unable to self-care, have diabetic foot ulcers, limited mobility, and polypharmacy being at a higher risk of frailty.Early screening and evaluation of frailty in elderly patients with chronic wounds should be emphasized, along with timely intervention and guidance for high-risk groups to effectively prevent or delay the occurrence of frailty.
