Predicting the prevalence and outcomes of frailty through <scp>ICD</scp>‐10 in older adults: experiences from a regional hospital in Taiwan
More than half of older patients admitted to hospitals have a moderate to high risk of frailty. Utilising ICD-10 weights to assess frailty risk is a feasible strategy to reduce the workload of medical personnel and identify patients at risk of frailty at an earlier stage.
