Short guides for clinicians on choosing frailty tools and reading their results.
Every number is labelled with the population it comes from and links to its source. The guides support, but do not replace, clinical judgement.
Where each tool's "frail" line sits on a frailty index, how much prevalence changes between tools in the same people, and what our tools' results mean.
Clinical review: pending. The numbers on this page were checked against their sources; a clinician has not yet reviewed the page.
How common frailty is in heart disease, what it predicts, and what Canadian and US cardiology guidance says. It also covers which tools fit which situations.
Cardiology review: pending. This page has not yet been reviewed by a cardiologist.
