1 First Level Socio-geriatric Evaluation in Period of Physical and Social Distancing in Frail Older Patients and Older Community Dwellers: ESOGER Databank

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease. Physical distancing is one of the most effective ways to reduce the spread of COVID-19, but this key prevention intervention may have adverse consequences on older adults living at home. Screening older adults living at home and at risk for adverse consequences of physical and social distancing is, therefore, a priority in order to prevent their occurrence. ESOGER ("Evaluation Social et GERiatrique") is a clinical tool designed to: 1) screen the risk-levels for adverse consequences related to COVID-19 physical distancing and 2) to continue appropriate preventive interventions in older adults living at home including frail older patients and older community dwellers. Experience cumulated during the past two weeks revealed that ESOGER could be improved, in order to be more effective and efficient for the prevention of adverse consequences related to COVID-19 physical distancing. This improvement is based on two key components: 1) Comments of Montreal ESOGER users and 2) Analysis of data. Because at this time no information is saved and stored, there is a need to save and store ESOGER information and create the ESOGER databank.

2 Relationship Between Frailty and Clinical Outcomes in Elderly Patients With COVID-19

This is a monocentric retro-prospective observational study that wants to evaluate the relation between frailty and clinical outcomes in elderly patients with COVID-19.

3 Implementation of the Integrated Care of Older People App and ICOPE Monitor in Primary Care (ICOPE)

Introduction: The World Health Organization has launched the INSPIRE-ICOPE-CARE program towards healthy aging. It includes "intrinsic capacity", defined as "the composite of all the physical and mental capacities of an individual", which has a positive value towards prevention, and is constructed by five domains: cognition, vitality/nutrition, sensory, psychology, and mobility. ICOPE App and ICOPE Monitor are applications for the self-assessment and monitoring of intrinsic capacity. Hypothesis: Intrinsic capacity self-assessed by the ICOPE Apps could be associated with the incidence of frailty and health outcomes. ICOPE Apps might support geriatric and primary care during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. Objectives: To assess the association between intrinsic capacity measured by the ICOPE Apps at baseline and the incidence of frailty in community-dwelling older adults during 1-year follow-up. Secondarily, to assess the association of intrinsic capacity and pre-frailty, falls, functional decline, institutionalization, and mortality (COVID-19-related/not related). Methods: Protocol for a cohort study of community-dwelling adults ≥65-year-old, with no other exclusion criteria than the inability to use the Apps or communicate by telephone/video-call for any reason (cognitive or limited access to telephone/video-call). Intrinsic capacity measured by the ICOPE Apps and Rockwood's clinical frailty scale will be assessed at baseline, 4-, 8- and 12-month follow-up by telephone/video-call. Assuming a prevalence of frailty of 10.7%, and incidence of 13% (alpha-risk=0.05), 400 participants at 12-month end-point (relative precision=0.10) and 600 participants at baseline will be required. Associations among the decrease in intrinsic capacity, incidence of frailty, and occurrence of health adverse outcomes during 1-year follow-up are expected. ICOPE Apps might identify individuals at higher risk of frailty and health adverse consequences. The implementation of the ICOPE Apps into clinical practice might help to bring the practitioners closer to their patients, deliver efficient person-centered care-plans, and benefit the healthcare systems during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.
