The impact of frailty according to Clinical Frailty Scale on clinical outcome in patients with heart failure

ConclusionsThe simple CFS tool was successful in predicting the risk for all ‐cause death in patients with HF, and frailty according to CFS was independently associated with all‐cause death irrespective of stratification based on age, sex, BMI, and LVEF without significant interaction. The CFS is a valuable prognostic tool in clinical settings.
