Development of an easy prognostic score for frailty outcomes in the aged
Abstract
BACKGROUND: identification of frailty is recommended in geriatric practice. However, there is a lack of frailty scores combining easy-to-collect predictors from multiple domains.
OBJECTIVE: to develop a frailty score including only self-reported information and easy-to-perform standardised measurements recommended in routine geriatric practice.
