Targeted Geriatric Assessment to Predict Outcomes in Older Adults With Heart Failure.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Health care for older adults with heart failure (HF) has primarily focused on cardiovascular assessment, with limited attention to geriatric conditions that might affect meaningful clinical outcomes.

Objectives

The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether the 10-minute Targeted Geriatric Assessment (10-TaGA) enhances the prediction of clinical outcomes in older adults with HF.

Methods

Prospective cohort study of HF patients consecutively admitted to a geriatric day hospital in Brazil. Cox proportional hazard models assessed 1-year all-cause mortality, hospitalization, HF hospitalization, and days of health lost among 10-TaGA score tertiles (low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups), adjusted for clinical variables and the Cardiac and Comorbid Conditio
