Traditional approaches to clinical risk assessment utilize age as a marker of increased
vulnerability to stress. Relatively recent advancements in the study of aging have led to the …

BACKGROUND: Frailty strongly predicts adverse outcomes in a variety of clinical settings;
however, frailty-related trauma outcomes have not been systematically reviewed and …

Abstract Background The Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) is the most commonly used frailty
measure in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. The hospital frailty risk score (HFRS) was …

Background Frailty is associated with poor outcomes in critical illness. However, it is unclear
whether frailty screening on admission to the ICU can be conducted routinely at the …

Background Older people are the largest group admitted to hospital with serious injuries.
Many older people are living with frailty, a risk factor for poor recovery. We aimed to examine …

Frailty, a clinical syndrome of increased vulnerability, due to diminished cognitive, physical,
and physiological reserves is a growing concern in the cardiac intensive care unit (CICU). It …

Introduction The trauma population is aging and better prognostic measures for geriatric
trauma patients are required. Frailty rather than age appears to be associated with poor …

BACKGROUND Assessing frailty in patients with an acute trauma can be challenging. To
provide trustworthy results, tools should be feasible and reliable. This systematic review …

Background It is unclear if the impact of frailty on mortality differs between patients with viral
pneumonitis due to COVID-19 or other causes. We aimed to determine if a difference exists …

OBJECTIVE: To compare the performance of CFS and a recently developed International
Classification of Diseases-10 (ICD-10) mFI (ICD-10mFI) as frailty-based predictors of long …
