The Prediction of Healthcare Utilization by Frailty and Disability among Dutch Community-Dwelling People Aged 75 Years or Older
ABSTRACT: Background Population aging is occurring worldwide. As a result, frailty and disability are in the full interest of practice, policy, and science. An increase in healthcare utilization is an adverse outcome of frailty and disability. Objective The aim of the present study...
The Prediction of Healthcare Utilization by Frailty and Disability among Dutch Community-Dwelling People Aged 75 Years or OlderAssociations of Frailty, Defined Using Three Different Instruments, with All-Cause Mortality in a Tertiary Outpatient Clinic in Turkiye
Purpose: To our knowledge, there have been no comparative studies evaluating the associations of frailty defined using the Tilburg Frailty Indicator (TFI), frailty phenotype by Fried et al, and FRAIL scale with all-cause mortality in Turkiye. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the...
Associations of Frailty, Defined Using Three Different Instruments, with All-Cause Mortality in a Tertiary Outpatient Clinic in TurkiyePredicting Disability Using a Nomogram of the Tilburg Frailty Indicator (TFI)
Abstract: Disability is associated with lower quality of life and premature death in older people. Therefore, prevention and intervention targeting older people living with a disability is important. Frailty can be considered a major predictor of disability. In this study, we aimed...
Predicting Disability Using a Nomogram of the Tilburg Frailty Indicator (TFI)External Validation of Models for Predicting Disability in Community-Dwelling Older People in the Netherlands
Background: Advanced statistical modeling techniques may help predict health outcomes. However, it is not the case that these modeling techniques always outperform traditional techniques such as regression techniques. In this study, external validation was carried out for five...
External Validation of Models for Predicting Disability in Community-Dwelling Older People in the NetherlandsDisability transitions in Dutch community-dwelling older people aged 75 years or older
Background: Recent world population predictions show that the world population aged >=65 years will increase from 10% in 2022 to 16% in 2050. Population aging is accompanied by an increase in people with disability. It is important to pay special attention to people with disability,...
Disability transitions in Dutch community-dwelling older people aged 75 years or olderNurses’ Opinions on Frailty
Abstract: Nurses come into frequent contact with frail older people in all healthcare settings. However, few studies have specifically asked nurses about their views on frailty. The main aim of this study was to explore the opinions of nurses working with older people on the concept...
Nurses’ Opinions on FrailtyBayesian Techniques in Predicting Frailty Among Community-Dwelling Older Adults in the Netherlands
Abstract BackgroundFrailty is a syndrome that is defined as an accumulation of deficits in physical, psychological, and social domains. On a global scale, there is an urgent need to create frailty-ready healthcare systems due to the healthcare burden that frailty confers on systems...
Bayesian Techniques in Predicting Frailty Among Community-Dwelling Older Adults in the NetherlandsA Comparison of Different Modeling Techniques in Predicting Mortality With the Tilburg Frailty Indicator
Background: Modern modeling techniques may potentially provide more accurate predictions of dichotomous outcomes than classical techniques. Objective: In this study, we aimed to examine the predictive performance of eight modeling techniques to predict mortality by...
A Comparison of Different Modeling Techniques in Predicting Mortality With the Tilburg Frailty IndicatorPrediction of COVID-19 Infections for Municipalities in the Netherlands
Abstract Background: COVID-19 was first identified in December 2019 in the city of Wuhan, China. The virus quickly spread and was declared a pandemic on March 11, 2020. After infection, symptoms such as fever, a (dry) cough, nasal congestion, and fatigue can develop. In some cases,...
Prediction of COVID-19 Infections for Municipalities in the NetherlandsThe Development of Multidimensional Frailty Over Seven Years A longitudinal study among Dutch community-dwelling older people using the Tilburg Frailty Indicator
Purpose: To examine the development of multidimensional frailty, including physical, psychological and socialcomponents, over a period of seven years. To determine the effects of sociodemographic factors (gender, age, marital status, education, income) on the development of frailty....

Purpose To determine the predictive value of quality of life for mortality at the domain and item levels. Methods This longitudinal study was carried out in a sample of 479 Dutch people aged 75 years or older living independently, using a follow-up of 7 years. Participants completed...
The prediction of mortality by quality of life assessed with the WHOQOL-BREFThe Added Value of Art for theWell-Being of Older People with Chronic Psychiatric Illnesses and Dementia Living in Long-Term Care Facilities, and on the Collaboration between Their Caregivers and Artists
Abstract: This study sought to provide insight into how art activities influence the well-being of long-term care residents, and how artists and caregivers collaborate in offering these activities. In two long-term care facilities for people with dementia and one for older people...

The prediction of mortality by quality of life assessed with the WHOQOL‑BREFFrailty at Risk Scale (FARS)
Abstract The aim of this cross-sectional study was to develop a Frailty at Risk Scale (FARS) incorporating ten well-known determinants of frailty: age, sex, marital status, ethnicity, education, income, lifestyle, multimorbidity, life events, and home living environment. In addition,...
