About this study

Official title: Association of Centre of Excellence Self-AdMinistered Questionnaire (CESAM) Score and Frailty Levels With Incident Adverse Health Events in Older Community Dwellers: Results of the NuAge Study

This study evaluates the association of the Self-Administered questionnaire (CESAM) score and its stratification of frailty in four levels with incident adverse health events in older community dwellers and to compare this association with three validated frailty indexes which are the Cardiovascular Health Study frailty index, Study of Osteoporotic Fracture index and Rockwood frailty index.

Read the detailed description

Older adults' health and functional status is heterogeneous because of the various cumulative effects of chronic diseases and physiologic decline, contributing to a vicious cycle of increased frailty. Thanks to advances in medicine and hygiene, a growing number of older adults spend more years with a greater range of disorders causing disability but not mortality. Health systems thus need to face this new challenge. Quantification of frailty and its association with the occurrence of adverse health events is crucial to understand how efficiently health systems may respond to this situation.

This study aims to examine the association of the CESAM score and its stratification of frailty in four levels with incident adverse health events in older community dwellers and to compare this association with a) five validated frailty indexes which are the Cardiovascular Health Study frailty index, Study of Osteoporotic Fracture index, Rockwood frailty index, 6-item brief geriatric assessment (BGA) and "Program of Research on the Integration of Services for the Maintenance of Autonomy" (PRISMA-7) and b) two new frailty indexes developed over the COVID-19 pandemic which are "Évaluation SOcio-GÉriatrique" (ESOGER) and "CriblAge et REcommandations" (CARE).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Frailty evaluationOther

    It will be used a questionnaire that is called:The Centre of Excellence Self-Administered questionnaire (CESAM). The score of this questionnaire and its stratification of frailty in four levels with incident adverse health events in older community dwellers will be compare with validated frailty indexes which are the Cardiovascular Health Study frailty index, Study of Osteoporotic Fracture index, Rockwood frailty index, 6-ietm brief geriatric assessment (BGA), "Program of Research on the Integration of Services for the Maintenance of Autonomy" (PRISMA-7) and b) two other frailty index developed over the COVID-19 pandemic which are "Évaluation SOcio-GÉriatrique" (ESOGER) and "CriblAge et REcommandations" (CARE).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Frailty

    It will be used a questionnaire called:The Centre of Excellence Self-Administered questionnaire(CESAM). This questionnaire evaluates frailty of older adults by providing a score and a stratification of frailty in 4 levels (Vigorous versus mild, moderate and severe frailty).

    Measured: the questionnaire will be used once, after 4 years follow-up.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Disease and Frailty, run by Jewish General Hospital at 1 site in Canada.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Apr 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Frailty (time frame: the questionnaire will be used once, after 4 years follow-up.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Apr 2024.
