The Edmonton Frail Scale as a screening score for frailty in oncogeriatrics
The EFS is a reliable tool for predicting frailty identified by the CGA in an older cancer population pre-selected as frail by the G8. EFS is an independent predictor of one-year mortality after adjustment for confounding factors. Validation of the EFS as a screening tool for frailty in cancer requires further studies to assess its performance in patients with normal G8 scores.
