Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

"Many tools to evaluate frailty have been developed. However, at the time our study was designed, none of these instruments had been validated in terms of psychometric properties. The aim of this study was to validate the modified version of the Short Emergency Geriatric Assessment (SEGAm) frailty instrument in elderly people living at home.

It was an observational, longitudinal, prospective, multicentre study, set up in four departments (Ardennes, Marne, Meurthe-et-Moselle, Meuse) in two French regions (Champagne-Ardenne and Lorraine). Subjects was aged 65 years or more, living at home, and was able to read and understand French, with a degree of autonomy corresponding to groups 5, or 6 in the AGGIR autonomy evaluation scale. Assessment included demographic characteristics, comprehensive geriatric assessment, and the SEGAm instrument. Psychometric validation was used to study feasibility and acceptability, internal structure validity, reliability, and discriminant validity of the SEGAm instrument. "

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Many tools to evaluate frailty have been developed. However, most are designed for use in the hospital setting, with the resultant drawback that they are not suitable for routine use in the community setting. A few tools have been developed for use in community-dwelling subjects, such as the Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS) developed by Fried from a cohort of subjects aged 65 and older; the Study of Osteoporotic Fractures (SOF); or the SHARE frailty instrument, developed in a cohort of the same name comprising subjects aged 50 years and older living at home. However, at the time our study was designed, none of these instruments had been validated in terms of psychometric properties. The aim of this study was to validate the modified version of the Short Emergency Geriatric Assessment (SEGAm) frailty instrument in elderly people living at home. It was an observational, longitudinal, prospective, multicentre study, set up in four departments (Ardennes, Marne, Meurthe-et-Moselle, Meuse) in two French regions (Champagne-Ardenne and Lorraine). Subjects was aged 65 years or more, living at home, and was able to read and understand French, with a degree of autonomy corresponding to groups 5, or 6 in the AGGIR autonomy evaluation scale. Assessment included demographic characteristics, comprehensive geriatric assessment, and the SEGAm instrument. Psychometric validation was used to study feasibility and acceptability, internal structure validity, reliability, and discriminant validity of the SEGAm instrument.
