Frailty assessed by administrative tools and mortality in patients with pneumonia admitted to the hospital and ICU in Wales

Abstract The ideal method of identifying frailty is uncertain, and data on long-term outcomes is relatively limited. We examined frailty indices derived from population-scale linked data on Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and hospitalised non-ICU patients with pneumonia to elucidate the influence of frail...
