Frailty and outcomes in VA long-term care residents

Frailty was highly prevalent in Veterans receiving long-term care in CLCs and was associated with higher rates of falls and fractures. Frail residents had a lower rate of mortality compared with their non/pre-frail counterparts. Length of stay, confounded by unobserved factors, and collider bias could potentially serve as explanations for this counterintuitive finding.

Abstract

Frailty was highly prevalent in Veterans receiving long-term care in CLCs and was associated with higher rates of falls and fractures. Frail residents had a lower rate of mortality compared with their non/pre-frail counterparts. Length of stay, confounded by unobserved factors, and collider bias could potentially serve as explanations for this counterintuitive finding.
