Intrinsic capacity and resilience in hospitalized older adults: a gender-stratified analysis of the PRIFOR score.
Article in BMC geriatrics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe Physical Resilience Instrument for Older Adults (PRIFOR) was developed to assess recovery potential in older adults facing acute stressors. However, its core domains such as positive thinking, coping, and hopeful mindset suggest strong psychosocial underpinnings. The aim of this study is to evaluate association of PRIFOR with intrinsic capacity (IC) and length of stay (LOS) amongst hospitalized older adults stratified by gender.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study involving 307 hospitalized adults aged ≥65 years. Data on IC domains, EuroQol 5-Dimension index (EQ-5D), EuroQoL Visual Analogue Scale (EQ-VAS), Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), and length of stay (LOS) was collected. Gender-stratified quantile regression models were used to assess associations across PRIFOR percentiles.
resultsMean age was 76.5 ± 6.9 years and 50.8% were female. Decline in mobility domain was prevalent in 64.8%, psychological domain in 9.4%, cognition domain in 58.3% and vitality in 25.6%. Median LOS was 4 days. Association of PRIFOR quantiles(Q) with IC, QoL, and CCI was influenced by gender and nonlinear. Across both genders, PRIFOR was significantly associated with psychological domain (Q25th-75th) and EQ-5D index (Q75th). For mobility domain, the significance was only observed in male (Q25th-75th). In female, association was significant with CCI (Q50th,75th) and EQ-VAS (Q25th).
conclusionPRIFOR appears to capture broader resilience constructs beyond the physical domain, with distinct gender-related patterns in hospitalised older patients. Longitudinal studies are needed to determine the predictive value of PRIFOR in recovery and functional outcomes.
