Frailty across the adult age spectrum and its effects on outcomes: Experience from a level 1 trauma centre

After adjusting for confounding factors, frailty is associated with nearly five times the increase in odds of a discharge to further inpatient care. Long term outcomes are also significantly poorer for patients with frailty. Identifying frailty on admission may help outcomes by targeting this patient group and optimising healthcare resource usage.

Abstract

After adjusting for confounding factors, frailty is associated with nearly five times the increase in odds of a discharge to further inpatient care. Long term outcomes are also significantly poorer for patients with frailty. Identifying frailty on admission may help outcomes by targeting this patient group and optimising healthcare resource usage.
