Abstract

to estimate the prevalence and synthesize diverse evidence about the relationship between frailty and delirium in hospitalized older adults. a systematic review with meta-analysis in which observational studies conducted with older adults about frailty, delirium and hospitalization, were selected without time of language restrictions. The search was conducted in the MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science and CENTRAL databases during August 2021. The precepts set forth by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) - Evidence Synthesis Groups were followed. The meta-analysis model estimated the relative risk corresponding to the prevalence of frailty and delirium. The inverse variance method for proportions was used to estimate the prevalence values and relative risks for binary outcomes. initially, 1,244 articles were identified, of which 26 were included in the meta-analysis (n=13,502 participants), with 34% prevalence of frailty (95% CI:0.26-0.42; I 2=99%; t 2=0.7618, p=0) and 21% for delirium (95% CI:0.17-0,25; I 2=95%; t 2=0.3454, p<0.01). The risk for hospitalized older adults to develop delirium was 66% (RR: 1.66; 95% CI:1.23-2.22; I2=92%; t2=0.4154; p<0.01). 34% prevalence of frailty and 21% of delirium in hospitalized older adults, with frailty being an independent risk factor for developing delirium, with an increased chance of 66% when compared to non-frail individuals.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 November 2022.
All research outputs
#17,301,727
of 25,392,582 outputs
Outputs from Revista Latino-Americana de Enfermagem
#445
of 842 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#305,662
of 515,332 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Revista Latino-Americana de Enfermagem
#32
of 77 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,392,582 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 842 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.3. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 515,332 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 77 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
