Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how healthcare practitioners in the UK and Ireland assess and manage frailty in patients with gynecological cancers, highlighting a disparity in practices across different care settings.
- - Data from a survey of 206 professionals indicated that 63% of settings don’t routinely perform frailty scoring, even though most practitioners adjust their care based on frailty levels.
- - Conclusions suggest a need for better training, specific pathways for frailty management, and standardized performance indicators to improve care for these vulnerable patients.
