Today, I link to and excerpt (coming soon) from Study Pinpoints Best Pre-op Frailty Assessment Instrument, December 4, 2019. From Anesthesiology News.

Basically the above article reviews a number of fraily assessment instruments and picks one as the best.

See Clinical Frailty Scale in an Acute Medicine Unit: a Simple Tool That Predicts Length of Stay [PubMed] [Full Text HTML] [Full Text PDF]. Can Geriatr J. 2016 Jun; 19(2): 34–39.
