Physical Frailty and Functional Status in Patients With Advanced Chronic Kidney Disease: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

With an aging population and growing number of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), integrating the latest risk factors when deciding on a treatment plan can result in better patient care. Frailty remains a prevalent syndrome in CKD resulting in adverse health outcomes. However, measures of frailty and functional status remain excluded from clinical decision making.

Objective

To examine the degree to which different measures of frailty and functional status are associated with mortality, hospitalization, and other clinical outcomes in patients with advanced CKD.

Design

Systematic review.

Setting

Observation studies including cohort study, case-control study, or cross-sectional study examining frailty and functional status on clinical outcomes.
