Frailty prevalence, invasive treatment frequency, and in-hospital outcome in patients hospitalized for acute coronary syndrome in Germany (2005-2022): a nationwide registry study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Frailty is a significant predictor for adverse outcomes. Yet, data on prevalence and treatment of frail patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains limited. We aimed to investigate frailty prevalence, interventional treatment frequency, and in-hospital outcome for all patients hospitalized for ACS in Germany from 2005 to 2022 and validate the Hospital Frailty Risk Score (HFRS) in this population.

Methods

Data for 2005-2022 from the Statistical Federal Office included all cases with primary diagnosis of ACS treated in Germany. Patients were categorized into low, intermediate, and high frailty by HFRS. Diagnoses, procedures, and in-hospital outcomes were analyzed. Univariable and multivariable logistic regressions as well as sensitivity analyses were perform
