Translation and validation of the Thai clinical frailty scale and classification tree in older adults
The CFS-Thai and CFS-CT-Thai are reliable and valid instruments for frailty assessment in Thai older adults. Their diagnostic accuracy supports integration into clinical practice, especially in settings with limited geriatric expertise. Further studies should examine their implementation across diverse populations and their predictive value for clinical outcomes.
