Prevalence and adverse outcomes of frailty in older patients with acute myocardial infarction after percutaneous coronary interventions: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The association between frailty and older patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is unclear. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the prevalence of frailty in older patients with AMI following PCI, and determine the relationship between frailty and adverse outcomes in these patients.

Hypothesis

Older patients with AMI have a higher prevalence of frailty after PCI, and the frailty in these patients increases the risk of adverse outcomes.

Methods

A comprehensive search of the PubMed, Cochrane, Ovid (Medline), Ovid (Embase), and Web of Science databases was performed for articles published until October 2021. A meta-analysis was performed using stata12.0 software. A
