Comparing various frailty instruments for predicting adverse outcomes in older patients hospitalized with lower respiratory tract infections
Frailty is prevalent and prognostic in older adults with LRTIs. The FFP provided consistent prediction of mortality and short-term ADL decline, the CFS was effective for confirming high-risk patients, and the SPPB was useful for early risk screening. The limited prediction of long-term functional decline highlights the need for LRTIs-specific frailty assessment instruments.
