Cognitive frailty as a predictor of adverse outcomes among older adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

A systematic review and meta-analysis basing on the prospective cohort studies were conducted to explore the risk of all-cause mortality and dementia in cognitively frail older adults compared to robust older adults and to determine whether it was a predictor of adverse outcomes.

Methods

Pubmed, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and CINAHL databases were searched to retrieve studies on adverse outcomes of cognitive frailty. Two reviewers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. Stata 15.0 Software was used to perform the meta-analysis. The all-cause mortality and dementia were observed to be the primary outcomes, while the other data were considered as the secondary outcome.
