Cross-Cultural Adaptation of the Clinical Frailty Scale for Critically Ill Patients in Spain and Concurrent Validity With FRAIL-Es.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

To adapt the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) into Spanish and assess its concordance with the Spanish version of the FRAIL scale (FRAIL-Es) in the context of intensive care.

Design

Validation study of frailty assessment scales in critically ill patients.

Methods

The study was conducted in two phases. The first phase consisted of translating, culturally adapting, and validating the CFS into Spanish. The second phase consisted of a metric descriptive study to assess the concurrent criterion validity of the adapted CFS with FRAIL-Es in a cohort of intensive care patients. Both scales were assessed upon admission to intensive care and at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months post-hospital discharge. Analysis was performed using T-Student/Mann-Whitney, chi-squared and Cohen's Kappa tes
