Association between Hospitalization and Change of Frailty Status in the GAZEL Cohort.
Article in The journal of nutrition, health & aging, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesTo assess the relationship between changes of frailty status and intervening hospitalizations, using information of the GAZEL cohort, matched with the data of the French National Health Data System.
designObservational cohort study.
participantsCommunity-dwelling adults of the GAZEL cohort (n = 12145; aged between 58 and 73 years in 2012). MEASUREMENTS: Frailty was determined with the Strawbridge questionnaire in 2012, 2013 and 2014. Data regarding hospitalizations (notably their number, length of stay, emergency department use, and main diagnosis) were collected from the French National Health Data System. The relationship between intervening hospitalizations and changes of frailty status over time was assessed with multivariate Markov models.
resultsThe prevalence of frailty was 14% in 2012 and 2013 and 17% in 2014. A total of 2715 changes in frailty status were observed from 2012 to 2014. At least one hospitalization was recorded for 1453 people (12%) between the 2012 and 2013 questionnaires, and 1472 (13%) between the 2013 and 2014 questionnaires. No association was found between intervening hospitalizations and changes of frailty status (aHR 1.14 [0.97-1.35] for robust to frail transition and aHR 0.89 [0.73-1.08] for frail to robust transition). However, repeated hospitalizations, hospitalizations after emergency department use, surgery and several diagnosis groups were significantly associated with transitions towards frailty or its recovery.
conclusionHospitalizations encompass a wide range of clinical situations, some of them being associated with incident frailty. An early recognition of these situations could help to better prevent and manage frailty in the early old age.
