Frailty in Outpatient Digestive Endoscopy
Recruiting now
Conditions studied: Frailty, Comorbidities and Coexisting Conditions, Complication
In brief
The increase in our society of the proportion of frail people who suffer from disability and dependency forces us to detect modifiable factors and therefore subject to intervention that can adapt health care for frail patients in order to increase the effectiveness and safety of medical treatments and procedures. A geriatric assessment should be performed on all patients likely to present frailty prior to a digestive endoscopy to assess the risk-benefit of the indication and to improve patient preparation by avoiding adverse effects of endoscopic examinations, increasing the safety and profitability of the tests There are no data in our medium on the prevalence of frailty in patients referred for endoscopy, nor on the incidence in these patients of adverse effects, inadequate preparations, or incomplete examinations, so a frailty study is needed to elaborate multidisciplinary protocols that improve circuits and care in these patients and prevent complications. The questions we want to try to answer are: * Prevalence and severity of fragility in digestive endoscopy. * Specific problems related to fragility in digestive endoscopy, mainly the profitability of the examination and the incidence of adverse effects, in order to create protocols for improving care in this group of patients.
