The index has been retrospectively applied to the patients of two centers using the last comprehensive geriatric assessment of each one.Results: 17 variables that included 27 deficits were selected and classified in 4 domains. 269 patients (mean age 82.9 ± 8.8 years) were included in the analysis. The frailty index indicated that 86% of patients should be considered frail and 60% of these to moderate-advanced level.Conclusions: The frailty index is simple and quick to apply. It seems to have discriminative capacity in terms of quantifying the degree of frailty and it could be useful in prescribing the most appropriate therapeutic aggressiveness to each patient. 2018 artículo científico 1130-6343 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=365962269005 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3659/365962269005/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3659/365962269005/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3659/365962269005/365962269005.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3659/365962269005/movil 10.7399/fh.10953 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3659 Farmacia Hospitalaria application/pdf Sociedad Española de Farmacia Hospitalaria Farmacia Hospitalaria (España) Num.4 Vol.42 |
