Frailty is recognized as a cornerstone of geriatric medicine. It increases the risk of geriatric
syndromes and adverse health outcomes in older and vulnerable populations. Although …

Background: A barrier to routine preoperative frailty assessment is the large number of frailty
instruments described. Previous systematic reviews estimate the association of frailty with …

Objective Frailty is associated with increased vulnerability to poor health. There is growing
interest in understanding the association between frailty and chronic kidney disease (CKD) …

We aimed to determine whether frailty, a validated geriatric construct of increased
vulnerability to physiologic stressors, predicts mortality in liver transplant candidates …

A consensus conference on frailty in kidney, liver, heart, and lung transplantation sponsored
by the American Society of Transplantation (AST) and endorsed by the American Society of …

Importance The Frailty Index (FI) is a known predictor of adverse outcomes in geriatric
patients. The usefulness of the FI as an outcome measure in geriatric trauma patients is …

Life participation requiring physical activity and physical function is a key patient-reported
outcome for people receiving peritoneal dialysis (PD). Clinician guidance is required from …

We have previously described strong associations between frailty, a measure of physiologic
reserve initially described and validated in geriatrics, and early hospital readmission as well …

As the world population ages, an expected increase in the prevalence of chronic kidney
disease (CKD) among older individuals will pose a considerable challenge for health care …
