TL;DR: Developing more efficient methods to detect frailty and measure its severity in routine clinical practice would greatly inform the appropriate selection of elderly people for invasive procedures or drug treatments and would be the basis for a shift in the care of frail elderly people towards more appropriate goal-directed care.

TL;DR: Routine implementation of the eFI could enable delivery of evidence-based interventions to improve outcomes for this vulnerable group of older people with mild, moderate and severe frailty, with robust predictive validity for outcomes of mortality, hospitalisation and nursing home admission.

TL;DR: Stroke is associated with a risk of falling at home and affects the lives of patients with stroke and their carers and falling and fear of falling is an important issue which needs to be dealt with by the multidisciplinary team.

TL;DR: The findings of this review support routine assessment of frailty in older cancer patients to guide treatment decisions, and the development of multidisciplinary geriatric oncology services.

TL;DR: Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) builds upon established models of human memory that include the subsystems of sensory, working and long-term memory and has particular relevance to medical education because many of the professional activities to be learned require the simultaneous integration of multiple and varied sets of knowledge, skills and behaviors.
