Impacto de la dependencia funcional de los pacientes mayores atendidos en los servicios de Urgencias españoles durante la primera ola pandémica de la COVID-19 sobre la mortalidad a 30, 180 y 365 días en función del diagnóstico (COVID versus no COVID) / Impact of functional dependency of elderly patients seen in Spanish emergency departments during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic on mortality at 30, 180 and 365 days depending on the diagnosis (COVID versus non-COVID)

RESUMEN
Fundamentos La valoración funcional forma parte de la valoración geriátrica. No se conoce bien cómo se realiza en los servicios de Urgencias hospitalarios (SUH) y menos aún su valor pronóstico. El objetivo de este trabajo fue investigar si la dependencia funcional basal para realizar las actividades básicas de la vida diaria (ABVD) era un factor pronóstico independiente de muerte tras la visita índice al SUH durante la primera ola pandémica de laCOVID-19 y si tuvo un impacto diferente en pacientes con y sin diagnóstico de COVID-19. Métodos:
Se realizó un estudio observacional retrospectivo de la cohorte EDEN-Covid (Emergency Department and Elder Needs during COVID) formada por todos los pacientes de edad mayor o igual a 65 años atendidos en 52 SUH españoles, seleccionados por oportunidad durante siete días consecutivos (del 30 de marzo al 5 de abril de 2020). Se analizaron variables demográficas, clínicas, funcionales, mentales y sociales. La dependencia se categorizó con el índice de Barthel (IB) en independiente (IB=100), dependencia leve-moderada (100>IB>60) y dependencia grave-total (IB<60), y se evaluó su asociación cruda y ajustada con la mortalidad a 30, 180 y 365 días mediante modelos de riesgos proporcionales de COX.Resultados:
De 9.770 pacientes incluidos con una media de edad de 79 años, un 51% eran hombres, 6.305 (64,53%) eran independientes, 2.340 (24%) tenían dependencia leve-moderada y 1.125 (11,5%) dependencia grave-total. El número de fallecidos a 30 días en estos tres grupos fue 500 (7,9%), 521 (22,3%) y 378 (33,6%), respectivamente; a 180 días fue 757 (12%), 725 (30,9%) y 526 (46,8%); y a 365 días 954 (15,1%), 891 (38,1%) y 611 (54,3%). En relación a los pacientesindependientes, los riesgos (hazard ratio) ajustados de fallecer a 30 días, asociados a dependencia leve-moderada y grave-total, fueron 1,91 (IC 95% 1,66-2,19)ABSTRACT
Background:
Functional assessment is part of geriatric assessment. How it is performed in hospital Emergency Departments (ED) is poorly understood, let alone its prognostic value. The aim of this paper was to investigate whether baseline disability to perform basic activities of daily living (BADL) was an independent prognostic factor for death after the index visit to the ED during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic and whether it had a different impact on patients with and without diagnosis of COVID-19.Methods:
A retrospective observational study of the EDEN-Covid (Emergency Department and Elder Needs during COVID) cohort was carried out, consisting of all patients aged ≥65 years seen in 52 Spanish EDs selected by chance during 7 consecutive days (30/3/2020 to 5/4/2020). Demographic, clinical, functional, mental and social variables were analyzed. Dependence was categorized with the Barthel index (BI) as independent (BI=100), mild-moderate dependence (100>BI>60) and severe-total dependence (BI<60), and their crude and adjusted association was evaluated with mortality at 30, 180 and 365 days using COX proportional hazards models.Results:
Of 9,770 enrolled patients with a mean age of 79 years, 51% were men, 6,305 (64.53%) were independent, 2,340 (24%) had mild-moderate dependence, and 1,125 (11.5%) severe-total dependence. The number of deaths at 30 days in these three groups was 500 (7.9%), 521 (22.3%) and 378 (33.6%), respectively; at 180 days it was 757 (12%), 725 (30.9%) and 526 (46.8%); and at 365 days 954 (15.1%), 891 (38.1%) and 611 (54.3%). In relation to independent patients, the adjusted risks (hazard ratio) of dying within 30 days associated with mild-moderate and severe-total dependency were 1.91 (95% CI 1.66-2.19) and 2.51. (2.11-2.98); at 180 days they were 1.88 (1.68-2.11) and 2.64 (2.28-3.05); and at 365 days they were 1.82 (1.64-2.02) and 2.47 (2.17-2.82). This negative impact of...(AU)Palavras-chave
