Frailty Prevalence and Association with Clinical Outcomes in Interstitial Lung Disease, Asthma, and Pleural Disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Frailty is a syndrome characterised by increased vulnerability to negative outcomes. Interstitial lung disease (ILD), asthma, and pleural disease are leading causes of morbidity and mortality. We aimed to investigate the prevalence and impact of frailty in adult patients with these diseases.

Methods

We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis, searching PubMed, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, and EMBASE for studies reporting on frailty in ILD, asthma, and pleural disease. MeSH terms including interstitial lung disease, Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, Non-specific Interstitial Pneumonia, Chronic Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis, systemic sclerosis-associated ILD, connective tissue disease-associated ILD, and frailty were used as key words.
