External validation of the Hospital Frailty Risk Score in France.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Hospital Frailty Risk Score (HFRS) has made it possible internationally to identify subgroups of patients with characteristics of frailty from routinely collected hospital data.

Objective

To externally validate the HFRS in France.

Design

A retrospective analysis of the French medical information database.

Setting

743 hospitals in Metropolitan France.

Subjects

All patients aged 75 years or older hospitalised as an emergency in 2017 (n = 1,042,234).

Methods

The HFRS was calculated for each patient based on the index stay and hospitalisations over the preceding 2 years. Main outcome measures were 30-day in-patient mortality, length of stay (LOS) >10 days and 30-day readmissions. Mixed logistic regression models were used to investigate
