“…Follow-up of participants showed that EVA-13 significantly predicts the risk of mortality and/or institutionalization. These findings obtained in selected older individuals are consistent with those obtained by the original scale in population based samples and in ambulatory older patients included in the ACOVE study and in other cohort studies [17,19,24,25]. In this study design, participants were selected from three different healthcare related settings which resulted in including a larger proportion of vulnerable elders than Table 2 Comparison of characteristics and EVA-13 values between participants recruited from a prevention center (group 1), from a geriatric ambulatory clinic (group 2 and from a geriatric rehabilitation hospital unit (group 3) Fig.…”

Background: Identifying and assessing degree and type of frailty among older persons is a major challenge when targeting high risk populations to identify preventive interventions. The Vulnerable Elders Survey-(VES-13) is a simple instrument to identify frailty defined as risk for death, functional decline or institutionalization. Objective: Translate VES-13 into French and validate it. Methods: The French version of VES-13 was developed by forward-backward translation of the VES-13 survey instrument. The authors assessed its feasibility, construct validity, and ability to predict the combined outcomes of admission to institution or death at 18 months, in 135 persons over 70 years of age living in the community. Subjects were recruited from three settings: Group 1a health prevention center (n = 45); Group 2an ambulatory care geriatric clinic (n = 40); and Group 3an intermediate care hospital unit (n = 50). The combined outcomes data were recorded by telephone interview with participants or a proxy. Results: Feasibility of the French version, named Echelle de Vulnérabilité des Ainés-13 or EVA-13, was excellent. The scale classified 5 (11%) persons as vulnerable (score of 3 or more) in Group 1, 23 (58%) in Group 2 and 45 (90%) in Group 3 (p < 0.001) with scores of 0.91 +/− 1.16, 4.27 +/− 3.17 and 6.90 +/− 3.17, respectively (p < 0.001). At follow-up, among the 60 non-vulnerable subjects, 58 (96%) were alive and living at home, whereas 46 (65%) of the 70 vulnerable subjects were alive and living at home (p < 0.001). Conclusions: EVA-13 was determined to be valid and reliable.

“…Another important point in this study is to emphasize the use of VES-13 as a continuous variable, and not as a categorical variable, as previously used (≥ 3 as vulnerable; < 3 as non-vulnerable). In three studies (including this one), mortality risk increased with each 1-point increment in the VES-13 score, corroborating the use of this score as a continuous variable (8,28) . In addition, scores ≥ 2 on the VES-13 also detected poor quality of life in older adults in PHC (5) .…”

Objective To investigate the potential role of the Vulnerable Elders Survey to identify older adults with limited life expectancy in primary healthcare settings. Method This cross-sectional study was performed in all (nine) healthcare units in Jatai, Goiás (Brazil) from July to December 2018. A sample size of 407 older adults was obtained considering an older population (≥ 60 years old). Participants answered a questionnaire about sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, including the Vulnerable Elders Survey and the Suemoto index. We tested the association between limited life expectancy and the Vulnerable Elders Survey using multiple logistic regression analysis. Results The mean age was 68.9 ± 6.6 yo, and 58.0% were women. The mean score of the Vulnerable Elders Survey was 2.0 ± 2.2, the mean score of Suemoto index was 31.5 ± 21.1%, and 17.2% had limited life expectancy. The Vulnerable Elders Survey was associated with limited life expectancy (OR = 1.57; p = < 0.0001). Conclusion The Vulnerable Elders Survey was able to identify older adults with limited life expectancy in primary healthcare settings and can play a role in detecting older adults who would not benefit from screening and strict control of chronic diseases.

Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura, de 13 publicações, objetivando identificar a prevalência de vulnerabilidade em idosos e fatores associados. A busca foi realizada nas plataformas Portal CAPES, BVS Saúde e PUBMED, durante o período de 10 e 13 de março de 2020. Os resultados deste estudo demonstraram que a prevalência de vulnerabilidade oscilou de 32% entre idosos da comunidade até 89% entre os idosos hospitalizados. Sendo as principais variáveis associados à presença de vulnerabilidade: fatores sociodemográficos (idade, sexo, escolaridade), funcionais (incapacidade funcional), psicoemocionais (delirium, tristeza, desânimo, depressão, declínio cognitivo), autopercepção de saúde, doença cardíaca, polifarmácia e limitações sensoriais.
