Comparison of 3 Frailty Instruments in a Geriatric Acute Care Setting in a Low-Middle Income Country
Comparison of frailty instruments in low-middle income countries, where the prevalence of frailty may be higher, is scarce. In addition, less complex diagnostic tools for frailty are important in these settings, especially in acutely ill patients, because of limited time and economic resources. We aimed to...

Frailty in Hospitalized Older Adults: Comparing Different Frailty Measures in Predicting Short- and Long-term Patient Outcomes
Data for the assessment of frailty in acutely ill hospitalized older adults remains limited. Using the Frailty Index (FI) as “gold standard,” we compared (1) the diagnostic performance of 3 frailty measures (FRAIL, Clinical Frailty Scale [CFS], and Tilburg Frailty Indicator [TFI]) in identifying frailty, a...
