Such an important contribution to the frailty literature with real potential to improve communication across clinical care of older adults: use the frailty tool most convenient and this data to crosswalk to other scores. Congratulations @sdmsison @DaeKimMD and colleagues!
How does the frailty measure YOU use compare to others? We have the answer! Using NHATS we crosswalked common scales. Terrific work led by @sdmsison. FI 0.25 matched to SOF 1.3, FRAIL 1.7, Phenotype 1.7, CFS 5.3, VES-13 5.5, TFI 4.4, GFI 4.8, and EFS 5.8. https://t.co/FZFOhBMZjj
