Abstract
BACKGROUND Social support is considered a key factor for secondary prevention in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Recent studies have suggested the clinical importance of social frailty in CVD. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to examine the association among coexistent MCI, social frailty, and clinical events in patients with CVD. METHODS This study included 184 hospitalized elderly patients with CVD who participated in inpatient cardiac rehabilitation (median age, 75 years; male, 66.3%). MCI was defined as a Montreal Cognitive Assessment score of ≤25 points at discharge. Social frailty was defined using the Makizako criteria. Lack of caregiver support was also assessed as an indicator of poor social support. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis and Cox regression analysis were conducted to evaluate the combined impact of MCI and social frailty or the lack of caregiver support on the composite endpoint of all-cause mortality or unplanned rehospitalization. RESULTS The prevalence of MCI, social frailty, and lack of caregiver support were 65.2%, 70.7%, and 19.0%, respectively. There was a significant difference among subgroups by MCI and a lack of caregiver support (log-rank test, p = 0.018), and the MCI/non-caregiver group showed the worst prognosis (adjusted hazard ratio 3.96; 95% confidence interval 1.57-9.98). Likewise, MCI/social frailty group showed a significantly high event risk (3.94; 1.20-12.9) among the subgroups by MCI and social frailty. CONCLUSION Our results highlight the clinical importance of assessing the presence of caregiver support along with conventional social frailty for patients with CVD and MCI.

Abstract
The relationship between low physical function (LPF) at discharge and food intake percentage (FIP) during hospitalization is unclear. We aimed to clarify the relationship between LPF at discharge and FIP and the change in nutritional status during hospitalization in elderly patients with heart failure (HF), and determine cutoff values for FIP and change in nutritional status during hospitalization. We included 431 consecutive patients aged ≥ 65 years who were hospitalized for HF and underwent cardiac rehabilitation (CR) from 2017 to 2019. Physical function at discharge was classified into two groups according to the Short Performance Physical Battery (SPPB): low physical function (LPF) (SPPB ≤ 9) and high physical function (HPF) (SPPB > 9). We compared background, clinical parameters, pre-hospital walking level, CR progress, nutritional factors during hospitalization including FIP of the main dish and side dish, and changes in nutritional status using the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (ΔGNRI) at admission and discharge. Multiple logistic regression analysis was also performed. The final analysis included 213 patients (age, 81.6 years) divided into the LPF (n = 136) and HPF groups (n = 77). The LPF group showed low FIP and a high ΔGNRI value. Multivariate analysis showed FIP main dish, ΔGNRI, worsening renal function, pre-hospital walking level, and days to start of walking to be factors influencing LPF at discharge. Respective cutoff values for FIP main dish and ΔGNRI predicting LPF at discharge were 82.2% and 4.24. FIP main dish during hospitalization and ΔGNRI were associated with LPF at discharge.

Abstract
AIMS To investigate the effect of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) on unplanned readmission in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS AND RESULTS From 2132 CAD patients, MCI was estimated with the Japanese version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA-J) in 243 non-dementia patients who met the study criteria. The primary outcome was unplanned hospital readmission after discharge. The incidence of MCI in this cohort was 33.3%, and 51 patients (21.0%) had unplanned readmission during a mean follow-up period of 418.6 ± 203.5 days. After adjusting for the covariates, MCI (hazard ratio, 2.28; 95% confidence interval: 1.09-4.76; P = 0.03) was independently associated with unplanned readmission in the multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression analysis. In the Kaplan-Meier analysis, the cumulative incidence of unplanned readmission for the MCI group was significantly higher than that for the non-MCI group (log-rank test, P < 0.001). Even after exclusion of the patients readmitted within 30 days of discharge, the main results did not change (log-rank test, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Mild cognitive impairment was independently associated with unplanned readmission after adjustment for many independent variables in CAD patients. In addition to its short-term effects, the adverse effects of MCI had a persistent, long-term impact on CAD patients. Assessment of cognitive function should be conducted by health professionals prior to hospital discharge and during follow-up. To prevent readmission of CAD patients, it will be necessary to support solutions to the problems that inhibit secondary prevention behaviours based on the assessment of the patients' cognitive function.
