Development and validation of a biological frailty score based on CRP, haemoglobin, albumin and vitamin D within an electronic health record database in France: a cross-sectional study
This study has made it possible, for the first time, to develop and validate in a hospital setting a biological score called bFRAil score based on simple, easily measurable biomarkers for identifying frail patients in daily medical practice. Further studies are needed to validate its use.
