 E-Mail Frailty is a better predictor than factors such as age when determining how older adults fare one year after receiving critical care. A team led by researchers from the University of Waterloo analyzed data from more than 24,000 community-dwelling older adults receiving home care in Ontario who were subsequently admitted into an intensive-care unit (ICU). They applied three different measures for baseline frailty and found that an individual s level of frailty was linked to survival one year later. The most frail ICU survivors had only a one in five chance of living to one year after discharge. Clinical frailty is age-related and characterized by a reduced ability to maintain or restore physical, physiological or cognitive functions when subject to health stressors.
