- Title
Frailty, Thy Diagnosis Is Uncertain: Impact on IBD Readmission and Mortality.
- Authors
Hong, Simon J.; Katz, Seymour
- Abstract
Since frailty scores such as the FRS and ACG Dx-PM have been validated in elderly patients but not specifically in patients with IBD, the precise definition of frailty remains undefined in this population. Given that inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a disorder of chronic inflammation and immune dysregulation, patients with IBD may be particularly at risk for frailty [[5]].
