Clinical Frailty Scale is commonly used to assess frailty.
The clinical Frailty Scale was developed from the Canadian Study of Health and Aging and it provides a summary tool for clinicians to assess frailty and fitness. Initially, it was scored on a scale from 1 (very fit) to 7 (severely frail), however; now it is modified to a 9-point scale to include very severely frail, and terminally ill as separate entities, which initially were lumped together. The 9-point scale provides a descriptor of a frailty stage. There is a visual chart to assist with the frailty classification. A person with a score ≥of 5 is considered frail.[1]
