Registry summary
Frailty refers to the age-related decline in physiological functions，that is associated with adverse outcomes. Frailty is a dynamic reversible state, that requires a comprehensive individualized management. Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS) is a structured, individualized method for setting and evaluating progress toward personalized goals.
We conducted a randomized clinical trial of an individualized intervention program using GAS as evaluation method designed to improve physical functional in frailty elderly. A total of 160 individuals aged ≥60 years, who fulfill the Fried scale of frailty will be recruited from Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Capital Medical University. All participants set personalized goals through GAS. Patients in the intervention group receive individualized interventions, implement tailored measures based on personalized goals to reverse the frailty state.The participants will be followed-up for 3 months and 24 months.
This protocol would be established to examine the efficiency of targeted individualized intervention for frailty based on the GAS. If a positive consequence could be obtained, the results of this study will provide critical data for management of frailty in the elderly, that can be carried out in routine clinical practice.
