Frailty measurements in hospitalised orthopaedic populations age 65 and older: A scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Aims and objectives

To identify and compare frailty instruments used with hospitalised orthopaedic patients aged over 65.

Background

Frailty predicts clinical events in orthopaedic patients aged over 65. However, the strengths and limitations of different approaches to measuring frailty in this population are rarely discussed. As such, a comprehensive review to address the gap is needed.

Design

Scoping review using Arksey and O'Malley framework.

Methods

PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Scopus and EMBASE databases were searched to identify studies published from 2006 to 2020 regarding frailty instruments in older orthopaedic patients. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses were followed.

Results

The initial search resulted in 1,47
