Abstract
The aims of the present research were to assess the prevalence of frailty and its potential associated factors in a cohort of adult patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Consecutive RA patients and healthy controls were assessed according to the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe Frailty Instrument (SHARE-FI), and classified as frail, pre-frail, or non-frail. Chi-square, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and multinomial logistic regression analyses were used to test the prognostic value of frailty for the outcomes of interest. Two hundred and ten consecutive RA patients (65.7% female, mean age 60.4 years) and 100 healthy controls (63% female, mean age 59.1 years) were included. According to SHARE-FI criteria, 35 RA patients (16.6%) were categorized as frail, 68 (32.4%) as pre-frail, and 107 (51%) as non-frail, while 8 control subjects were categorized as frail, (8%), 17 as pre-frail (17%), and 75 as non-frail (75%) (chi-squared 12.8; P = 0.0016). The results from logistic regression analysis revealed that age (odds ratio [OR] = 1.12, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.07-1.17; P < 0.0001), comorbidities (OR = 1.51, 95% CI = 1.01-2.27; P = 0.0446), and high disease activity (OR = 1.10, 95% CI = 1.04-1.16; P = 0.0006)...Continue Reading
