Association between Frail Phenotypes and Mean LT-VLA Disability
| SPPB (n = 253) | FFP (n = 254) | |
|---|---|---|
| Model 1 | 0.27 (0.19–0.35) | 0.28 (0.20–0.36) |
| Model 2 | 0.25 (0.17–0.34) | 0.26 (0.19–0.34) |
| Model 3 | 0.12 (0.04–0.21) | 0.18 (0.10–0.25) |
| Model 4 | 0.12 (0.04–0.21) | 0.17 (0.09–0.25) |
Definition of abbreviations: FFP = Fried Frailty Phenotype; LT-VLA = Lung Transplant Valued Life Activities; SPPB = Short Physical Performance Battery.
Effect estimates are increases in mean LT-VLA (95% confidence intervals) per 1 SD worsening in frailty score. Worsening is defined as a decrease in SPPB and an increase in FFP. Values greater than 0 indicate greater disability. An LT-VLA increase ≥0.3 is clinically meaningful.
Model 1: adjusted for center.
Model 2: model 1 + age, sex, diagnosis.
Model 3: model 2 + Lung Allocation Score.
Model 4: model 3 + FVC, body mass index.
