The hospital mortality of the FIPU patients was also lower, even after adjusting for potential confounders.</p><p id="par0125" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">There is growing evidence in favor of special units for treating frail elderly patients.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0020"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4–6</span></a> These patients’ management and their related care could be considered a “complex intervention”. However, the critical difference between this complex intervention and conventional care (a difference that can benefit frail elderly patients) is early mobilization, a crucial element in our patients’ outcomes. Other studies in Spain<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0045"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">9,12</span></a> have shown that a multicomponent, personalized exercise program improves the functional capacity of frail hospitalized patients and that impairment during hospitalization is associated with an increased mortality risk at 1<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>year.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0065"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">13</span></a> The early benefit observed in our study can be attributed to a better recognition of the patient’s clinical condition, which was later used to direct the assessment and management. The interventions that might have most affected the outcomes were the individualized exercise plan, improved drug therapy optimization and the prevention of delirium.</p><p id="par0130" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Our study has several limitations: we did not employ a frailty detection scale but rather a functional impairment scale. The main reason for this was the accessibility of the scale in the initial phase of this project, along with the assumption that the patients with functional impairment could benefit from a program to prevent this impairment. We also did not employ a randomized patient selection method; however, patient distribution based on bed availability is a simple method for distributing patients, which enabled us to compare 2 similar groups, given that the data showed no major differences in the baseline characteristics between the patients treated in the intervention group and those in the control group.</p><p id="par0135" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">This patient distribution method has been employed by other authors in similar studies that considered this method valid and more feasible that performing conventional randomization, which is why this method was employed in our study.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0050"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span></a> In the cases in which differences were identified, the patients in the intervention group were a little more ill (e.g., presented more heart failure) and were older, with no detectable bias in favor of the intervention group. However, the lack of pure randomization could represent a bias. By performing the analysis per protocol, a number of patients who were admitted to the FIPU could have subsequently been transferred to a CU, so as to provide the patient with an individual room due to their terminal condition, which could represent a bias that could explain some of the differences in mortality. The number of patients who were transferred was not available, but the transfer rates in our center are <3 %, and transfers for other reasons were not performed. The intent-to-treat analysis, excluding the patients who died during the hospitalization, maintained the differences between the FIPU and CU in terms of continence and mobility.</p><p id="par0140" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Frail adults have a high risk of adverse clinical outcomes, and the strategies for reducing functional, psychological and general health impairment are still an important field of research.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0070"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">14</span></a> Care models that aim at improving functional outcomes and reducing disability after hospitalization among frail adults should be actively researched, given the implications on public health and health policies.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0030"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6,10,15</span></a> Our center’s FIPU can be an example of how to organize the care of frail patients who require hospitalization for acute medical conditions.
