Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The chronic diseases and medications of the patients will be questioned and controlled from the electronic data set. To determine the level of frailty and dependency, the Katz, Lawton-Brody, and Clinical Frailty scales will be filled in, respectively, by the previously trained health personnel, by interviewing their relatives. Mini-Cog, Mini Mental Status Assessment, Mini Nutrition Assessment, and Geriatric Depression (Yesavage) Assessments will be planned. According to dependency status, individuals will be re-evaluated in the 1st or 2nd month. If the patients are fully independent, control follow-up is planned in the 3rd month. Written file records will be created by obtaining the consent of the patients and their relatives at each patient visit. Each team will be responsible for the follow-up of 300 patients. It is planned to include a total of 6000 individuals in the first phase, which is carried out in 20 centers throughout the province of Balıkesir and whose coordination center is Atatürk city hospital. In the follow-ups, it is planned to include the whole cohort consisting of 40 thousand individuals over the age of 80, by increasing the number of teams. The short-term results of the patient's follow-up (1st, 3rd, and 6th-month results), changes in mortality, addiction, frailty level, and changes in nutrition and cognitive functions within the specified period will be evaluated as short-term results. It is aimed to record the long-term outcomes (1st and 2nd year) of the same variables.
Since the whole population will be included in the study, sample size and power analysis were not performed.
