Multimorbidity frailty index and clinical outcomes among 42,989 older heart failure patients directly discharged from emergency departments: A nationwide retrospective cohort study
Frailty is prevalent among older adults directly discharged from the ED due to HF and significantly elevates risks of mortality and readmissions. These findings highlight the need for frailty assessment in ED settings for older HF patients to optimize care planning, and improve outcomes.
