An alternative method for Frailty Index cut-off points to define frailty categories.
ROMERO-ORTUNO, ROMAN (2013)PURPOSE: the Frailty Index (FI) is a popular operationalization of frailty. FI cut-off points have been proposed to define, regardless of age, frailty categories with increasing risk. Here, an alternative method is ... -
A Comparison of Beers and STOPP Criteria in Assessing Potentially Inappropriate Medications in Nursing Home Residents Attending the Emergency Department.
O'NEILL, DESMOND; KENNELLY, SEAN; COUGHLAN, TARA; ROMERO-ORTUNO, ROMAN (2014) -
Continuous noninvasive orthostatic blood pressure measurements and their relationship with orthostatic intolerance, falls, and frailty in older people.
KENNY, ROSE ANNE; ROMERO-ORTUNO, ROMAN; FAN, CHIE WEI; FORAN, TIM (American Geriatrics Society, 2011)OBJECTIVES: To identify morphological orthostatic blood pressure (BP) phenotypes in older people and assess their correlation with orthostatic intolerance (OI), falls, and frailty and to compare the discriminatory performance ... -
Cross-national disparities in sex differences in life expectancy with and without frailty.
ROMERO-ORTUNO, ROMAN (2014)ACKGROUND: with continued ageing, levels of frailty are an increasing concern. Women live longer than men, but how life expectancies (LE) with frailty differ between men and women and whether sex differences are the ... -
The frailty index in Europeans: assocation with age and mortality.
KENNY, ROSE; ROMERO-ORTUNO, ROMAN (2012)BACKGROUND: the frailty index (FI) is an approach to the operationalisation of frailty based on accumulation of deficits. It has been less studied in Europeans. OBJECTIVE: to construct sex-specific FIs from a large ... -
The frailty index in Europeans: association with age and mortality.
ROMERO-ORTUNO, ROMAN; KENNY, ROSE ANNE (2012)Background: the frailty index (FI) is an approach to the operationalisation of frailty based on accumulation of deficits. It has been less studied in Europeans. Objective: to construct sex-specific FIs from a large sample ... -
Frailty Index in Europeans: association with determinants of health.
ROMERO-ORTUNO, ROMAN (2014)AIM: The Frailty Index (FI) summarizes differences in health status within individuals, and the determinants of health drive that variability. The aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of education, ... -
A Frailty Instrument for primary care for those aged 75 years or more: findings from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe, a longitudinal population-based cohort study (SHARE-FI75+).
ROMERO-ORTUNO, ROMAN (2014)Objective To create and validate a frailty assessment tool for community-dwelling adults aged ≥75 years. Design Longitudinal, population-based study. Setting The Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe ... -
The Frailty Instrument for primary care of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe predicts mortality similarly to a frailty index based on comprehensive geriatric assessment.
ROMERO-ORTUNO, ROMAN (2013)AIM: Frailty is an emerging concept in primary care, which potentially can provide healthcare commissioners with a clinical focus for targeting resources at an aging population. However, primary care practitioners need ... -
Frailty, depression and anxiety in later life.
KENNY, ROSE ANNE; LAWLOR, BRIAN; NI MHAOLAIN, AINE; ROMERO-ORTUNO, ROMAN (2012)Background: Anxiety and depression are common in older people but are often missed; to improve detection we must focus on those elderly people at risk. Frailty is a geriatric syndrome inferring increased risk of poor outcomes. ... -
Insights into the clinical management of the syndrome of supine hypertension - orthostatic hypotension (SH-OH): The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA)
FINUCANE, CIARAN; ROMERO-ORTUNO, ROMAN; KENNY, ROSE (2013)BACKGROUND: Our previously proposed morphological classification of orthostatic hypotension (MOH) is an approach to the definition of three typical orthostatic hemodynamic patterns using non-invasive beat-to-beat ... -
Orthostatic haemodynamics may be impaired in frailty.
ROMERO-ORTUNO, ROMAN; KENNY, ROSE; LAWLOR, BRIAN (2011)Background: orthostatic hypotension (OH) is a physical sign that reflects a final common pathway of various forms of disordered physiology, which is the hallmark of geriatric frailty. Fried et al. recognise three increasing ... -
The SHARE operationalized frailty phenotype: a comparison of two approaches.
ROMERO-ORTUNO, ROMAN (2013)PURPOSE: the phenotype defined by Fried et al. is one of the main operationalizations of frailty. Santos-Eggimann et al. pioneered the adaptation of the phenotype criteria to the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement ...
