Comparison of polypharmacy and potentially inappropriate medication use in older adults with and without dementia receiving residential medication management reviews

Prevalence of frailty according to the Hospital Frailty Risk Score and related factors in older patients with acute coronary syndromes in Vietnam
CONCLUSIONS: The HFRS was an effective tool for stratifying frailty and predicting adverse health outcomes in older patients with ACS. Further research is needed to compare the HFRS with other frailty assessment tools in this population.PMID:38576179 | DOI:10.1111/ajag.13307 (Source: Australasian Journal on Ageing)
