The impact of frailty on death, discharge destination and modelling accuracy in patients receiving organ support on the intensive care unit.

Background: This study aims to identify any effect of frailty in altering the risk of death or poor outcome already associated with receipt of organ support on ICU. It also aims to assess the performance of mortality prediction models in frail patients.

Methods: All admissions to a single ICU over 1-year were prospectively allocated a Clinical Frailty Score (CFS).
