Comparison of three frailty measures for predicting hospitalization and mortality in the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging

CONCLUSION: All three measures of frailty had similar predictive performance. Discrimination was modest for predicting hospitalization and superior in predicting mortality. This likely reflects the objective nature of mortality as an outcome and the challenges in reducing the complex concept of healthcare utilization to a single variable such as any overnight hospitalization.PMID:38418612 | DOI:10.1007/s40520-024-02706-w
