Comparison of frailty instruments for predicting mortality and prolon ged hospitalization in acute coronary syndrome patients.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate the relative strengths of 3 frailty assessment instruments for predicting mortality and prolonged hospitalization in acute coronary syndrome patients.

Design

Prospective cohort study.

Setting

Acute cardiac care units in New Zealand.

Participants

1174 patients >70 years of age hospitalized with an acute coronary syndrome.

Interventions

The Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS), Edmonton Frail Scale (EFS) and Fried Criteria (Fried), were completed during hospital admission following an acute coronary syndrome when the patient was clinically stable.
