By 2040, nearly one in seven people in the UK will be over 75. Whilst many older people live active and independent live, a significant minority experience frailty, a state of increased vulnerability to adverse outcomes. Frailty is not inevitable but the risk increases as people get older; 5% of 60-69 year olds live with frailty compared with 65% of over 90 year olds.

Many people living with frailty need to be in acute hospitals, either for elective or emergency care but a hospital admission can trigger a typical and more severe responses than expected.  For this reason it is imperative to identify people with frailty and ensure that their hospital care does not inadvertently cause a deterioration.

The NIHR has funded research into caring for this vulnerable group and the NIHR Dissemination Centre’s recent review Comprehensive Care summarises the current state of evidence. Some of the key findings include;

  • Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (a structured process of assessment and planning) has been shown to improve outcomes. When conducted by a multi professional team, early in the admission, it can reduce mortality and increase the chance of patients returning to their own home. But the National Audit Office in 2016 found that only 42% of English hospitals were undertaking early assessments.
  • Hospital staff need to be vigilant for signs of the five syndromes related to frailty; delirium, falls, continence issues, immobility and medicine management challenges. Whilst staff are familiar with falls, continence and medicines management needs, hospital staff often do not recognise delirium, with an estimated 50% to 75% of delirium going undetected. Older people with frailty may need additional help to stay mobile and research suggests volunteers make be the solution.
  • Because older people with frailty are more vulnerable, they are often admitted to hospital in the last year of their life. Research has found, however, that hospital staff are not good at recognising this. In one study, only a third of older people whose hospital records showed they met the Gold Standards Framework criteria for palliative care had moved to a palliative care plan.
  • Evidence shows that older people have three fundamental needs: Maintaining identity ‘see who I am’, Creating Community ‘connect with me’ and sharing decision making ‘involve me’ This requires relationship based care, where staff develop meaningful relationships with patients. Research shows that training can help staff to create these relationships
