Impact of Social Frailty in Hospitalized Elderly Patients With Heart Failure: A FRAGILE‐HF Registry Subanalysis

Abstract: Background Frailty is conceptualized as an accumulation of deficits in multiple areas and is strongly associated with the prognosis of heart failure (HF). However, the social domain of frailty is less well investigated. We prospectively evaluated the clinical characteristics and prognostic impact of social frailty (SF) in elderly patients with HF. Methods and Results FRAGILE‐HF (prevalence and prognostic value of physical and social frail… Show more

“…Despite the negative attitudes toward ACP, we also clarified the poor prognostic outcomes for SI in hospitalized patients with HF, concordant with previous studies on patients with HF with various severities and settings. 16 , 32 , 38 , 39 Among heart transplant recipients, SI, defined as the number of contacts with close friends and relatives during 1 month, was associated with reduced survival after heart transplantation. 38 In a Japanese study of hospitalized patients with HF, SI, evaluated using the LSNS‐6, was associated with 90‐day HF readmission.…”

“… 39 Furthermore, most recently, social frailty, evaluated using Makizako's 5 items, was associated with all‐cause death and rehospitalization among hospitalized geriatric patients with HF. 16 Taken together, regardless of the HF severity, region, and indicators for SI evaluation, SI patients may have limited worse clinical outcomes in HF. Although elucidating its mechanism is beyond the scope of our study, patients' perception of SI could be the result of individual, circumstantial, or environmental conditions, and therapeutic targets of SI will vary accordingly.…”

“…Physical inactivity in heart disease patients may affect not only physical and mental functions but also social activity. As social activity frequently requires the integration of physical and mental capacities, social frailty may develop at a relatively early stage in the progressive trajectory of frailty [ 11 ]. However, the majority of reports on frailty in those with heart disease relate to physical frailty and cognitive functions, while the social domain of frailty has received little research attention.…”

“…55 In patients with HF, the QSFS of Makizako et al is frequently used. In the sub-analysis of FRAGILE-HF, 56 the QSFS was also used, showing that 825 (66.5%) of 1240 participants had social frailty, which was associated with all-cause mortality and rehospitalization at 1 year post-discharge. The QSFS is recommended for the assessment of social frailty in patients with HF due to multiple reports and its simplicity with only five questions.…”
