Résumé
Frailty is prevalent in older people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and robust evidence supporting the benefit of dialysis in this setting is lacking. We aimed to measure frailty and quality of life (QOL) longitudinally in older people with advanced CKD and assess the impact of dialysis initiation on frailty, QOL and mortality. Outpatients aged ≥65 with an eGFR ≤ 20ml/minute/1.73m Ninety-eight participants were enrolled. Between enrolment and follow-up, 36% of participants commenced dialysis and 59% died. Frailty prevalence increased from 47% at baseline to 86% at follow-up (change in median FI = 0.22, p < 0.001). Initiating dialysis was not significantly associated with change in FI. QOL declined from baseline to follow-up (mean EQ-5D-5L visual analogue score of 70 vs 63, p = 0.034), though commencing dialysis was associated with less decline in QOL. Each 0.1 increment in baseline FI was associated with 59% increased mortality hazard (HR = 1.59, 95%CI = 1.20 to 2.12, p = 0.001), and commencing dialysis was associated with 59% reduction in mortality hazard (HR = 0.41, 95%CI = 0.20 to 0.87, p = 0.020) irrespective of baseline FI. Frailty increased substantially over four years, and higher baseline frailty was associated with greater mortality. Commencing dialysis did not affect the trajectory of FI but positively influenced the trajectory of QOL from baseline to follow-up. Within the limitations of small sample size, our data suggests that frail participants received similar survival benefit from dialysis as non-frail participants.

BACKGROUND
Frailty is prevalent in older people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and robust evidence supporting the benefit of dialysis in this setting is lacking. We aimed to measure frailty and quality of life (QOL) longitudinally in older people with advanced CKD and assess the impact of dialysis initiation on frailty, QOL and mortality.
METHODS
Outpatients aged ≥65 with an eGFR ≤ 20ml/minute/1.73m
RESULTS
Ninety-eight participants were enrolled. Between enrolment and follow-up, 36% of participants commenced dialysis and 59% died. Frailty prevalence increased from 47% at baseline to 86% at follow-up (change in median FI = 0.22, p < 0.001). Initiating dialysis was not significantly associated with change in FI. QOL declined from baseline to follow-up (mean EQ-5D-5L visual analogue score of 70 vs 63, p = 0.034), though commencing dialysis was associated with less decline in QOL. Each 0.1 increment in baseline FI was associated with 59% increased mortality hazard (HR = 1.59, 95%CI = 1.20 to 2.12, p = 0.001), and commencing dialysis was associated with 59% reduction in mortality hazard (HR = 0.41, 95%CI = 0.20 to 0.87, p = 0.020) irrespective of baseline FI.
CONCLUSIONS
Frailty increased substantially over four years, and higher baseline frailty was associated with greater mortality. Commencing dialysis did not affect the trajectory of FI but positively influenced the trajectory of QOL from baseline to follow-up. Within the limitations of small sample size, our data suggests that frail participants received similar survival benefit from dialysis as non-frail participants.
