Development and internal validation of a risk prediction model for oral frailty in hospitalized older adults with chronic diseases
The prevalence of oral frailty is notably high among hospitalized older adult patients with chronic diseases, with key influencing factors including age, employment status, appetite, and clinical physiological resilience. The developed risk prediction model demonstrates good calibration and discriminative ability, supporting its potential use in early screening and targeted intervention of oral frailty in this population.
