Objective[edit | edit source]
Clinical Frailty Scale is used commonly 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). It is modified to a 9-point scale to include very severely frail and terminally ill.[1] It evaluates specific domains, including comorbidity, function, and cognition, to generate a frailty score ranging from 1 (very fit) to 9 (terminally ill).[2]
