Prevalence and risk factors of frailty in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To systematically review the prevalence and risk factors for frailty in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Methods

A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted, and a search of the PubMed, Embase and Web of Science databases was carried out to collect Chinese and English studies on frailty and COPD published up to September 5, 2022.

Results

A total of 38 articles were included for the quantitative analysis after the collected literature was either included or omitted based on pertinent criteria. The results indicated that the estimated overall pooled prevalence of frailty was 36% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 31-41%), and the estimated pre-frailty was 43% (95% CI = 37-49%). A higher age (odds ratio [OR] = 1.04; 95% CI = 1.0
