Category: Geriatrics

Keywords: frail, frailty scale, geriatrics, critical care (PubMed Search)

Posted: 11/27/2025 by Robert Flint, MD (Updated: 11/27/2025)

A prospective cohort of South Korean patients over 65 years admitted from the ED with critical illness had  Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) performed on them. Those with a high CFS had increased 3 month mortality. CFS helps us prognosticate morbidity and mortality in our older critically ill patients.
