Background: The estimated prognos of a patient might influence the expected benefit/risk ratio of different interventions. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) score as an independent predictor of short-, mid- and long-term mortality in critically ill older adults (aged ≥ 70) admitted to the emergency department (ED).
Methods: This is a retrospective, single-center, observational study, involving critically ill older adults, recruited consecutively in an ED.
Clinical Frailty Scale classes are independently associated with 6-month mortality for patients after acute myocardial infarction.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to investigate how frailty affects clinical decision-making and outcomes in myocardial infarction (MI) patients by analyzing data from the SWEDEHEART registry.
- - Out of 3,381 MI patients, those classified as frail or vulnerable showed significantly worse in-hospital outcomes and higher mortality rates compared to non-frail individuals, with frail patients having a 13.4% mortality rate versus 1.8% for non-frail.
- - Frailty, as measured by the Clinical Frailty Scale, was found to be a strong independent predictor of 6-month mortality, highlighting the importance of assessing frailty in MI patients for better treatment decisions.
