Mortality predictors in community-dwelling centenarians through comprehensive geriatric assessment.
Article in BMC geriatrics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThere has been a steady rise in the global population of centenarians. However, information on the factors affecting survival in community-dwelling centenarians remains limited. Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA), with its multidisciplinary approach, offers important advantages in identifying predictors of mortality in older adults. This research sought to determine the most common chronic diseases and factors associated with mortality in community-dwelling centenarians using the CGA.
methodsThe clinical documentation of community-dwelling individuals aged ≥ 100 years who attended a tertiary geriatric outpatient clinic between December 2016 and March 2025 were reviewed. Demographic characteristics, chronic diseases, geriatric syndromes, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), anticholinergic cognitive burden (ACB) score, and laboratory findings at baseline were recorded. Mortality status was followed for 24 months via the National Death Registry and family reports. Multivariate logistic regression was employed to evaluate the independent factors linked to mortality.
resultsThe study population comprised 65 centenarians (mean age, 102.3 ± 3.3 years; 87.7% female). The two-year all-cause mortality rate was 69.2% (n = 45). The most common chronic diseases were hypertension (66.2%), chronic kidney disease (35.4%), and diabetes mellitus (16.9%). The most prevalent geriatric syndromes were urinary incontinence (60.0%), insomnia (33.8%), and dementia (26.2%). In multivariate analysis, insomnia (OR = 6.04; 95% CI: 1.16–31.4; p = 0.03) and pressure ulcers (OR = 11.9; 95% CI: 1.03–138.2; p = 0.04) were identified as independent predictors of mortality. Sensitivity analyses excluding individuals aged ≥ 110 years and those with hyperpolypharmacy confirmed these associations.
conclusionsIn community-dwelling centenarians, insomnia and pressure ulcers are independent factors that significantly increase the risk of two-year mortality. These syndromes may reflect frailty and reduced physiological reserve in advanced age. Early diagnosis and targeted management provided by CGA may contribute to improved survival and quality of life in this vulnerable population.
