To assess current frailty screening practice
Achtergrond van het onderzoek
Rationale: There is a trend toward global ageing. As elderly are particularly susceptible to burn injury, it is forecast that, more and more elderly will be admitted to burn centres, also in the Netherlands. At this moment, insight in the specific needs and outcomes of elderly in specialized burn care is limited. Especially the assesment and treatment of frailty is hardly studied. From 2012 onwards systematic frailty screening on vulnerable elderly in Dutch hospitals was implemented as part of the Dutch National Patient Safety Programme. This includes screening on delirium, risk of falls, undernourishment and ADL dependence.
Objective: The primary objective is to assess current frailty screening practice.
The secondary objectives are 1) to assess factors related to complete screening. 2) determine the prevalence of positive/deviant frailty indicators in elderly burn patients in specialized burn care. It must be noted that this aim is only possible if current frailty screening practice is accurate and adequately documented in patient files.
Study design: Retrospective multicentre cohort study, using data from the 3 Dutch burn centres in the Netherlands from 2012-2018.
Study population: All patients aged 70 years and over, admitted to a Dutch burn centre for the first time (primary admission only), in a period of 7 years (2012-2018).
Intervention (if applicable): Not applicable.
Main study parameters/endpoints: Data on current screening practice for frailty, including screening for delirium, risk of falls, undernourishment and ADL dependence
Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: Since only data from an existing database (the Dutch Burn Repository R3) and electronic patient records will be used, the burden and risks for participants are nil. Data handling and storage will be up to current standards. Data will be coded and documented, using an online CRF from Castor EDC following GCP. Source data and the key to the codes will be accessible for the local investigators only.
