The aim of this study to assess whether frailty, assessed by the multidimensional prognostic index (MPI), can predict mortality/hospitalization residents. A Cox’s regression analysis used, reporting results as hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). 1146 affected were included (mean age: 86 years; 75.4% females). During followup period, we observed 286 deaths and 239 hospitalizations. Taking those MPI <0.41 reference, an ?0.50 associated higher risk death (HR=1.41; 95%CI: 1.07-1.85). Similar obtained using score increase 0.10 points (HR=1.12; 1.03-1.23). Using hospitalization outcome, only continuous variable outcome (HR=1.08; 1.002-1.17). In conclusion, MPI, significant mortality further indicating necessity assessing NH.
