Abstract

Objectives: determining the rate of frailty syndrome and the relationship with physical function in the elderly with stage 3, 4, 5 chronic kidney disease treated at the National Geriatric Hospital. Methods: a cross-sectional study on 101 patients aged ≥ 60 years old with stage 3, 4 and 5 of chronic kidney disease treated at the National Geriatrics Hospital from January to May 2018. Patients were interviewed according to a unified questionnaire, frailty syndrome was assessed by Fried criteria, physical function was assessed by the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) test. Results: average age of study subjects was 78.6 ± 8.4 (year). The proportion of women accounts for 56.4%. The proportion of patients with the frailty syndrome was 40.6%. The proportion of patients with physical function impairment assessed by SPPB score was 62.4%. Patients with impaired physical function increase the risk of frailty by 2.55 times, 95% CI: 1.1-6.85 (p <0.05). Conclusion: The  proportion of elderly people with stage 3, 4 and 5 with chronic kidney disease had fraitly syndrome in the study was quite high. Physical impairment increases the risk of frailty. Therefore, encouraging physical activity and giving specific exercises that enhance physical strength can improve function in the above subjects.
