Association of Pre-stroke Frailty With Prognosis of Elderly Patients With Acute Cerebral Infarction: A Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Frailty is a state of cumulative degradation of physiological functions that leads to adverse outcomes such as disability or mortality. Currently, there is still little understanding of the prognosis of pre-stroke frailty status with acute cerebral infarction in the elderly.

Objective

We investigated the association between pre-stroke frailty status, 28-day and 1-year survival outcomes, and functional recovery after acute cerebral infarction.

Methods

Clinical data were collected from 314 patients with acute cerebral infarction aged 65-99 years. A total of 261 patients completed follow-up in the survival cohort analysis and 215 patients in the functional recovery cohort analysis. Pre-stroke frailty status was assessed using the FRAIL score, the prognosis was
