Association of social frailty with prognosis among individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

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
ObjectivesThe relationship between physical or cognitive frailty and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been established. This study aimed to evaluate the association between social frailty and disease severity as well as prognosis in people with COPD.MethodsEligible people with stable COPD were prospectively enrolled. Baseline data were collected via medical records and face-to-face interviews, and social frailty was assessed using the Makizako Index (grouping criteria). During a 1-year follow-up, changes in participants' disease status and prognostic outcomes were recorded. Multivariate logistic regression was applied to analyze the associations.ResultsOf 725 participants, 281 had social frailty and 444 were non-frail. Baseline social frailty was associated with a greater number of previous acute exacerbations (p<0.001); with a higher risk of frequent acute exacerbations during follow-up (p<0.001); and with higher risks of hospitalization >7 days and ICU stay >3 days at the first acute exacerbation during follow-up (p<0.001, p=0.006). It also predicted greater dyspnea, abnormal blood gas, worse pulmonary function, elevated inflammatory markers, triple therapy escalation, and escalated steroids during this acute exacerbation (all p<0.01).ConclusionSocial frailty may, to a certain extent, serve as a potential predictor for assessing the prognosis of people with COPD.
