28 de fev. de 2024 · Learn how to use the frailty index, a tool to measure frailty as a state of increased vulnerability to stressors. The calculator provides a questionnaire, a formula, and a table of frailty variables.
Há 2 dias · Learn about the frailty index (FI), a tool for quantifying the level of frailty of an individual based on their health deficits. Find out how the FI is used, constructed, and validated in various population-based studies worldwide.
Purpose. Measure health status in elderly. The frailty index ( FI) can be used to measure the health status of older individuals; it serves as a proxy measure of aging and vulnerability to poor outcomes. FI was developed by Dr. Kenneth Rockwood and Dr. Arnold Mitnitski at Dalhousie University in Canada.

This systematic scoping review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) criteria . The protocol was registered with the Open Science Framework Registry.
A search of Medline, Cochrane and EMBASE databases was conducted in May 2020 and again in March 2021. Search terms included ‘frailty index’, ‘acute care hospital’, ‘community’ and ‘residential care’. The full search strategy is included in the Appendix.
Studies were eligible for inclusion if they used an FI that met the criteria as set out by Searle and colleagues and the FI was categorised in some way (i.e., an FI score(s) delineated labelled sub-categories). Included studies could be of any design, but were to be conducted in a human adult population in one of three settings: community, acute c...
After removing duplicates, one reviewer (IK) independently screened the record titles and abstracts. Two reviewers (IK, NR) independently screened the full-text articles and disagreements were resolved by consensus and discussion with a third reviewer as required. Eligible studies were separated into the three settings of interest. A field-weighted...
Three reviewers (IK, NR, EG) performed data extraction and any disagreements were resolved by consensus. Extracted study data included country, publication date, study design and sample size. FI data included mean, FI scores and labels and justification provided by the study author(s) for these FI categories.
This review synthesises how frailty index (FI) scores and labels are used in different care settings and why. It finds variability and inconsistency in FI categorisation and suggests the FI should be reported as a continuous variable.
