Functional status recovery trajectories in hospitalised older adults with pneumonia

Pneumonia is associated with significant mortality and morbidity in older adults. We investigated changes in functional status over 6 months after pneumonia hospitalisation by frailty status. This single-centre prospective cohort study enrolled 201 patients (mean age 79.4, 37.3% women) who were hosp...

Zusammenfassung:Pneumonia is associated with significant mortality and morbidity in older adults. We investigated changes in functional status over 6 months after pneumonia hospitalisation by frailty status. This single-centre prospective cohort study enrolled 201 patients (mean age 79.4, 37.3% women) who were hospitalised with pneumonia. A deficit-accumulation frailty index (range: 0-1; robust
