Frailty measurement in research and clinical practice: A review
TL;DR: How well these measurements operationalise frailty according to Clegg's guidelines for frailty classification is examined - that is: their accuracy in identifying frailty; their basis on biological causative theory; and their ability to reliably predict patient outcomes and response to potential therapies.
