Frailty Assessment Tools in Chronic Kidney Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Rationale & objective

Frailty represents a loss of physiologic reserve across multiple biological systems, confers a higher risk of adverse health outcomes, and is highly prevalent among people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We evaluated the measurement properties of frailty tools used in CKD and summarized the association of frailty with death and hospitalization.

Study design

Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Setting & study populations

Studies assessing multidimensional frailty tools in adults at any stage of CKD and evaluating a measurement property of interest as per the Consensus-based Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement Instruments taxonomy.

Selection criteria for studies

Observational studies and randomized trials.
