Core requirements of frailty screening in the emergency department:an international Delphi consensus study
(2023)Introduction: Frailty is associated with adverse outcomes among patients attending emergency departments (EDs). While multiple frailty screens are available, little is known about which variables are important to incorporate ... -
Were Frailty Identification Criteria Created Equal? A Comparative Case Study on Continuous Non-Invasively Collected Neurocardiovascular Signals during an Active Standing Test in the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA)
(2024)Background: In this observational study, we compared continuous physiological signals during an active standing test in adults aged 50 years and over, characterised as frail by three different criteria, using data from ... -
Comparative analysis of frailty identification criteria on continuous non-invasive neurocardiovascular signals during an active stand test in The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA)
(2023)Frailty is a distinctive health state related to acceleration of biological ageing in which multiple body systems disproportionately lose their in-built reserves. Older people living with frailty are at higher risk of ... -
The Lived Experience of Frailty: Beyond Classification and Towards a Holistic Understanding of Health
(2024)Purpose: Frailty is characterised by decreased physiological reserves and vulnerability to stressors. Although scales such as the Fried’s Frailty Phenotype (FP), Frailty Index (FI), and Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) are ... -
Haemodynamic Parameters Underlying the Relationship Between Sarcopenia and Blood Pressure Recovery on Standing
(2023)Background: Sarcopenia, delayed blood pressure (BP) recovery following standing, and orthostatic hypotension (OH) pose significant clinical challenges associated with ageing. While prior studies have established a link ...
