Its applicability in the clinical setting, however, is limited due to a ceiling effect in the general population. Older patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) are likely to have reduced muscle strength, exercise tolerance, and balance ability, as well as a higher falling risk and prevalent frailty. Appropriate evaluation and intervention for these issues are required to promote a healthy life expectancy in these patients. We tested the validity of the SPPB for evaluating physical function and the applicability of the SPPB as a diagnostic tool for frailty in older patients with CVD. A total of 47 patients (age 74 [67-82] years, 62% male, 28% frailty) were evaluated in an outpatient setting. SPPB scores were significantly associated with scores for the hand grip strength, 6-min walk test, one-legged stance test, and time up and go test, even after adjusting for confounding factors. Assuming an SPPB score cutoff value of 9, the sensitivity was 61.5% and the specificity was 90.6% (AUCROC 0.81). The SPPB is a simple physical measurement applicable as a diagnostic tool for frailty in elderly patients with CVD in the outpatient setting.}, pages = {1--8}, title = {高齢心疾患患者におけるフレイル診断指標としての SPPB の妥当性の評価}, volume = {40}, year = {2021} }
