Canadian study of health and aging clinical frailty scale: Does it predict adverse outcomes among geriatric trauma patients?
Journal of the American College of Surgeons Sep 13, 2017
Cheung A, et al. - This study is planned primarily to determine whether pre-admission Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) is associated with adverse discharge destination. Secondarily researchers assessed the relationships between CFS and in-hospital complications and between admission laboratory Frailty Index (FI-lab) and discharge destination. Findings suggested that pre-admission clinical frailty independently predicted adverse discharge destination in geriatric trauma patients. They suggested the utility of CFS in triaging resources to mitigate adverse outcomes in this population. The FI-lab determined on admission for trauma seemed to have no utility.
