Mapping the Final Journey: End‐Of‐Life Frailty Trajectories and Cause of Death
Frailty trajectories at the end of life varied by cause of death, with neurodegenerative disease decedents exhibiting more severe frailty. These findings underscored the need for early identification of frailty and tailored end-of-life care strategies, particularly for individuals with neurodegenerative diseases who often experienced prolonged and severe frailty.
