There are 9 clinical trials
The ANRS EP66 SEPTAVIH Study aims to screen feasibility of evaluating frailty in people living with HIV aged 70 or older, to estimate its prevalence, to analyse associated risk factors and to evaluate the impact of frailty on pejorative events. SEPTAVIH is a French, multicentre, prospective, observational study which will include 500 HIV-infected participants
Description: Proportion of patients classified as frail according to Fried at Baseline
Measure: Proportion of frail patients Time: 12 monthsCoronavirus 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.

Measure: Give the prevention of contagion at the elderly population level. Time: Until patient discharge from the hospital (approximately 1 year).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.
Description: Incidence of frailty assessed by Rockwood's clinical frailty scale (CFS) will be assessed at baseline and 12-month follow-up by telephone/video-call. An score <4 will indicate robustness, 4-6 pre-frailty status, and ≥6 frailty
Measure: Incidence of frailty Time: 1 yearThe study team want to see if changes in lifestyle and behaviors and self-monitoring of diet and physical activity in older adults who have type 2 Diabetes (T2D) may help to prevent or reduce frailty. Frailty occurs in older adults and leads people to have falls, become disabled, require nursing home placement, and have increased risk of death. T2D is one of the major risk factors for frailty. T2D is a significant problem in older adults and is known to increase the risk of future frailty.
Description: Change in frailty measured on a scale using a frailty score (0, 1, 2, 3, 4,or 5), with higher scores out of 5 representing greater frailty. Assessments used for scoring include 1) self reported weight loss, 2) self-reported exhaustion 3) low physical activity based on the Minnesota Leisure Time Physical Activity Questionnaire (MLTPAQ) 4) Handgrip strength 5) 10 foot walk pace
Measure: Frailty Scale Time: Baseline to 6 monthsDescription: Change in HbA1c measured over the study period
Measure: Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) Time: Baseline to 6 monthsDescription: For PROMIS measures, higher scores equals more of the concept being measured (e.g., more Fatigue, more Physical Function). Thus a score of 60 is one standard deviation above the average referenced population. This could be a desirable or undesirable outcome, depending upon the concept being measured.
Measure: Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Time: Baseline to 6 monthsDescription: The study team will administer the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB)69 to assess three lower extremity tasks; 1) standing balance (ability to stand with the feet together in side-by-side, semi-and full-tandem positions for 10 seconds each); 2) a 4-meter walk to assess usual gait speed; 3) time to complete 5 repeated chair stand. Each of the 3 performance measures is assigned a score ranging from 0 (inability to perform the task) to 4 (the highest level of performance) and summed to create a score ranging from 0 to 12 (best). The SPPB is sensitive to change over time
Measure: Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) Time: Baseline to 6 monthsThe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is keeping people apart, which can take a toll on physical and mental health. Many healthcare professionals are concerned vulnerable seniors may become deconditioned, which substantially increases risk of health complications and need for hospitalization. To address the immediate impact of COVID-19 policies (i.e., physical distancing, reduced access to care), the GERAS Frailty Rehabilitation model will be adapted to be delivered remotely in the homes of vulnerable seniors. The investigators' aim is to understand how to best build resilience among vulnerable seniors in the community through at-home rehabilitation services (socialization, exercise, nutrition, and medication support).

Measure: Feasibility Outcome #4 - Maintenance of the Intervention Time: 12 Weeks Post-InterventionSocial isolation is defined as the objective and/or subjective reduction of number and quality of interpersonal contacts leading to a loss of an individual's social role and stigmatization. It is a major problem in Canadian society with a high prevalence in the older population (30% in individuals aged 65 and over, representing 1.5 million individuals). Social isolation is associated with a wide range of mental and physical health problems that leads to an increase in the use of health and social services. This issue increased with the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic which attacking your society at its core. Social distancing and in particular home confinement exacerbated social isolation of frailer groups like the elderly people. In 2016, the International Federation on Ageing reported that "the main new problem facing seniors in Canada is maintaining their social contacts and activities". This highlights the need for efficient and effective interventions to improve the social inclusion of older adults experiencing social isolation. Research suggests that art-based activities carried out at museums have significant benefits for older adults experiencing social isolation, and may foster social inclusion, well-being, quality of life and mitigate frailty. Yet few studies have examined empirically the effects of museum art-based activities in older adults experiencing social isolation. In 2019, the principal investigator of this research conducted an experimental pilot study based on a pre-post intervention (i.e., 3-month cycle of weekly guided tours carried out at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA)), single arm, prospective and longitudinal follow-up named "Effects of Montreal Museum of Fine Arts visits and older community dwellers with a precarious state: An experimental study", which indicated the potential of museum tours to improve social inclusion, well-being, the quality of life and frailty in older community members experiencing social isolation. However, these studies were performed before the COVID-19 crisis and were in-site activities. The principal investigator hypothesizes that a 3-month cycle of virtual weekly MMFA tours may induce changes in well-being, quality of life and health condition in older community dwellers participating like the 'Beautiful Thursday' cycle, and that this activity can prevent the worsening of vulnerability and social isolation due to social distancing.
Description: using the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWBS) self-validated questionnaire composed by 14 positively worded item scale with five response categories. It covers most aspects of positive mental health (positive thoughts and feelings). Scores can range from a minimum of 14 to a maximum of 70 points. Higher scores are associated with higher levels of mental well-being
Measure: Well-being Time: 3 monthsDescription: using EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D), a standardized measure of health status developed by the EuroQol Group to provide a simple, generic measure of health for clinical and economic appraisal. It is composed of two parts: a questionnaire of five questions with score per question ranged from 1 (i.e., no issue) to 5 (i.e., worse issue), each question ranged from 0 (i.e., no issue) to 25 (i.e., worse issue), and a visual analogic scale of how good or bad participant health was. This scale is numbered from 0 (i.e., worse health participant can imagine) to 100 (i.e., best health participant can imagine).
Measure: Quality of life Time: 3 monthsDescription: using CESAM questionnaire, composed of 20 items providing two complementary information: 1) A global score of frailty ranged from 0 (i.e., best health and functional condition) to 18 (i.e., worse health and functional condition) and 2) Categorized health condition in four levels (vigorous with a score between 0 and 3, mild frailty with a score between 4 and 7, moderate frailty with a score between 8 and 12, and important frailty with a score above 12).
Measure: frailty Time: 3 monthsDescription: using the digital form of the 11-item Dike Social Support Index (DSSI). The index is composed of two subscales: social interaction (i.e., frequency of interactions) and subjective support (i.e., satisfaction with emotional support provided). DSSI score ranges from 11 to 33, increased score indicating higher levels of social insertion. The scores of the 11 items are combined and categorized as low-fair (score ≤26), high (score 27-29) and very high (score 30-33). We will use the mean score of 11-item DSSI and its distribution in three categories.
Measure: social isolation Time: 3 monthsDescription: using ESOGER questionnaire, composed of 17 items exploring the COVID risk, the COVID past history, the social isolation risk due to COVID (access to food, home support and healthcare, contact with external persons, anxiety). Items correspond to a question in closed-ended format (i.e., yes or no, or calling for a specific answer). The ESOGER categorizes state of vulnerability in three levels (Low, Moderate and High vulnerability).
Measure: socio-geriatric vulnerability Time: 3 monthsDescription: recorded at the end of the cycle by asking directly to the participants
Measure: Incident planned and unplanned visits to physicians, Emergency Department (ED) and hospitalization Time: 3 monthsDescription: determined by the total number of guided tours performed, on a maximum of 12.
Measure: compliance Time: 3 monthsOlder adults and those with chronic underlying health conditions are the most susceptible to COVID-19 and its complications. Although there has been a rapid response to studying the effects of COVID-19 in the acute stages, little is known about recovery over the longer-term. Older adults who survive the diseases are at risk of developing persistent mobility limitations due to extensive bed rest during hospitalization. For older patients and those with underlying frailty recovering from COVID-19, this could rapidly lead to significant physical deconditioning and rapid declines in mobility. Understanding the trajectory of functional recovery of older hospitalised patients with COVID-19 in the short- and long-term is critical to improving patient outcomes and informing health and rehabilitative interventions for survivors.

It defines health in terms of five dimensions: Mobility, Self- Care, Usual Activities, Pain/Discomfort, and Anxiety/ Depression. The response options are of five levels, from no, slight, moderate, severe, to extreme problems
Measure: Change in Health status (EQ-5D-5L) Time: 3,6,9 and 12-months post hospital dischargeSufficient muscle strength helps to get out of a chair and can prevent falls. Up to 30% of older adults experience age-related loss of muscle strength, which can lead to frailty and health instability. Exercise helps to build muscle, maintain bone density and prevent chronic disease, especially during the aging process. In older adults at risk of mobility impairment, exercise greatly reduced incidence and effects did not vary by frailty status. However, more than 75% of Canadian adults ≥18 years of age are not meeting physical activity guidelines. In addition, it is known know that malnutrition, including low protein intake, may lead to poor physical function. While there are services to support exercise and nutrition, barriers to implementing them persist. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the potential for physical inactivity, malnutrition, and loneliness among older adults, especially those with pre-existing health or mobility impairments. Now and in future, alternate ways to promote exercise and proper nutrition to the most vulnerable are needed. The investigators propose to adapt MoveStrong, an 8-week education program combining functional strength and balance training with strategies to increase protein intake. The program was co-developed with patient advocates, Osteoporosis Canada, the YMCA, Community Support Connections and others. MoveStrong will be delivered by telephone or web conference to older adults in their homes, using mailed program instructions, 1-on-1 training sessions through Physitrack®, as well as online nutrition seminars and support groups over Microsoft® Teams. The primary aim of this study is to assess feasibility as determined by recruitment (25 people in 3 months), retention (80%), adherence (≥70%) and participant experience.
Description: The number of participants recruited at the end of rollout and participant experience.
Measure: Recruitment Time: Through study completion, an average of 12 weeksDescription: The number of participants retained at post-rollout end
Measure: Retention Time: Through study completion, an average of 12 weeksDescription: The percentage of exercise sessions completed
Measure: Adherence Time: Through study completion, an average of 12 weeksDescription: A semi-structured interview will ask about participant experience, satisfaction, learning needs, and suggested adaptations to the program. A semi-structured interview guide has been designed to conduct exit interviews and follow up interviews with each participant over the phone or web conference. Interviews will be audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. One researcher will perform content analyses using NVivo version 12 Pro or higher (QSR International Pty Ltd, 2019) to describe participant experience, satisfaction, learning needs and suggested adaptations to the program. Analyses will be verified by another researcher through member checking. The exercise physiologist will be given a spreadsheet to record any protocol adaptations, challenges, and successes to inform future trials.
Measure: Participant experience Time: Week 12Description: A Physical Activity Screen (PAS) will be used to capture average minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity each week. This tool was created based on questions used by Exercise is Medicine in the Physical Activity Vital Sign questionnaire (Greenwood et al., 2010). The results will be compared to national exercise guidelines for older adults that promote ≥150 minutes and ≥2 session of muscle strengthening per week (Tremblay et al., 2011).
Measure: Physical activity Time: Baseline, week 9, week 12Description: A modified version of the Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale will be used to capture levels of planning and execution of exercise related activities (Resnick & Jenkins, 2000). The lowest response option to each question is "Not true at all", while the highest is "Exactly true". Responses closer to "Exactly true" indicate a better outcome.
Measure: Exercise self-efficacy scale Time: Baseline, week 9, week 12Description: The 30-second Chair Stand will be used to access lower extremity muscle function (Bohannon, 1995; Jones et al., 1999). The instructions for this test have been adapted and will be self-administered under the remote supervisor supervision of the exercise physiologist. A higher score on this test indicates a better outcome.
Measure: 30-second Chair Stand Time: Baseline, week 9, week 12Description: Static balance will be measured using the 3-point scale from the Short Performance Physical Battery (J. M. Guralnik et al., 1994). The instructions for this test have been adapted and will be self-administered under the remote supervisor supervision of the exercise physiologist. A higher score on this test indicates a better outcome.
Measure: Static balance Time: Baseline, week 9, week 12Description: Fatigue will be assessed with the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale-fatigue questions (CES-D) Depression Scale (Radloff, 1977). Only two questions on the CES-D will be used: "I felt that everything I did was an effort, "I could not get going". The lowest response option is "Rarely (<1 day)", and the highest response option is "Nearly every day". Responses closer to the lowest response option indicate a better outcome.
Measure: Fatigue Time: Baseline, week 9, week 12Description: Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale focuses on positive aspects of mental health. It is short, yet robust and showed high correlations with other mental health and well-being scales. The lowest response option is "None of the time", and the highest response option is "All of the time". Responses closer to the highest response option indicate a better outcome.
Measure: Mental health and social isolation Time: Baseline, week 9, week 12Description: The EuroQol Group 5 Dimension 5 Level questionnaire is a multi-attribute health related quality of life tool (Herdman et al., 2011). The system comprises five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: no problems to extreme problems five dimensions can be combined into a 5-digit number that describes the self rated patient's health state. Responses to each dimension are scored as a number from 1-5. Responses scored as 1 indicate a better outcome.
Measure: Quality of life score Time: Baseline, week 9, week 12Description: The SCREEN tool is a valid and reliable nutrition questionnaire designed specifically for older adults (Keller et al., 2005). This tool will be used to assess changes in weight, appetite, eating habits and promote viable self-management.
Measure: Dietary intake Time: Baseline, week 9, week 12Description: ASA24®-Canada is a guided web-based tool used for 24-hour diet recalls. All food and drinks consumed by the participant on two weekdays and one weekend day (3 days in total) will be reported to track protein intake (Subar et al., 2012).
Measure: Nutrition tracking Time: Baseline, week 9, week 12Description: We will ask participants to report adverse events, using Health Canada definitions. We will report all serious and non-serious adverse events and identify those attributable to intervention. Safety outcomes will include all falls, fractures, and serious and non-serious adverse events. Any fractures or falls that are attributable to intervention will be considered under both fall or fracture outcomes, and harms.
