Case: Barrier to Transplant?

  • 64 yo woman with progressive end-organ disease coming

to your center for evaluation for solid organ transplant

  • PMH: controlled hypertension, Type 2 diabetes on oral

agents (hemoglobin A1c 6.9%)

  • PSH: Tonsillectomy
  • SHx: Retired teacher, married, 2 adult children who live

nearby and want to be living donors; non-smoker, non- drinker Based on the above do you anticipate any barriers to transplant listing?

Frailty tool: The Eyeball Test

Pitfalls of the eyeball test:

  • Subjective
  • Detects frailty too late
  • Can be deceiving:
  • Obesity
  • Women
  • Well-groomed
  • Variable application in

clinical practice

Tools to use in the transplant setting

Fried Frailty Index grip strength SPPB gait speed 6MWT physical activity exhaustion TUG Clinical Frailty Scale ADL IADLs Selection criteria

  • Commonly used in research

and/or clinical practice

  • Have been used in end-stage
  • rgan disease
  • Ones that I have heard you are

using in your practice

(Maximum) GRIP STRENGTH

“This test will tell me your maximum grip strength. When I say go, grip as hard as you can until I say stop.”

  • Average of 3 trials
  • Grip duration of 3 seconds with 15 seconds rest in

between

Instruments to Assess Frailty

Objective Tools

  • Hand grip strength
  • Fried Frailty Index
  • 6 minute walk test
  • Timed up and go
  • Short Physical

Performance Battery

  • ADL / IADL scales

A Frailty Index for patients with end-stage liver disease

Data in submission. Please do not distribute.

Compared to MELDNa alone, the Frailty Index correctly reclassifies 1 out of 5 patients by their survival status Waitlist survival in liver transplant candidates (n=536)

Key Point

We have the tools to operationalize:

Fried, SPPB, ADL, IADL scales are available in the Appendix of: Lai JC, AJT 2014.

We need to implement these in clinical practice!
