Background: Little is known about what components geriatricians routinely incorporate into outpatient comprehensive geriatric assessments (CGAs).
Aims: This study explored what components of CGAs are routinely incorporated into geriatricians' letters and assessed their consistency with the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) and a recently published survey of geriatricians.
Methods: We completed a manual content analysis, supplemented by qualitative thematic analysis, of 34 letters from five geriatricians, collected as part of the GOAL Trial.

This commentary examines the study "Frailty and Its Association with Long-Term Mortality Among Community-Dwelling Older Adults Aged 75 Years and Over" by Lewis et al. The retrospective cohort study utilized data from a primary healthcare provider in Israel to investigate frailty using the Frailty Index (FI) and its correlation with long-term mortality. Nearly half of the older adult cohort was identified as frail, with a strong association between higher frailty levels and increased mortality risk.
