- Title
Determinants of Perioperative Outcome in Frail Older Patients.
- Authors
Lippi, Giuseppe; Kiefmann, Rainer
- Abstract
The authors discuss a report about the lack of a universally-agreed definition for the diagnosis and management of frailty. Topics mentioned include the impact of the lack of harmonization on identifying predictive factors that would enable accurate stratification of subjects at higher risk of becoming frail, a practical definition of frailty endorsed by the FRAILOMIC consortium, and the challenge of recognizing frailty in the perioperative context.
