Hospital frailty risk score (HFRS) correlates with complications, length of stay, and non-routine discharge. HFRS is a better predictor of postsurgical sequelae than age and Elixhauser comorbidity index.

Background: In-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) poses a considerable threat to hospitalized patients, leading to high mortality rates and severe neurological deficits among survivors. Despite the advancements in resuscitation practices, the prognosis of IHCA remains poor, and comprehensive studies exploring nationwide trends and long-term survival are scarce, particularly in the Asian populations.
Methods: Utilizing data from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database, we conducted a nationwide cohort study to analyze the IHCA events among adult patients between 2003 and 2020.

Background: Specialist palliative care teams (SPCTs) have significant benefits for patients with advanced disease or frailty, including improved quality of life, greater satisfaction with care, and less potentially inappropriate care at the end of life. Experienced SPCTs are recognised to have higher referral rates compared to novice teams. The aim of this study was to assess the development of hospital-wide integration of specialist palliative care (PC) and of SPCTs in Dutch hospitals between 2014 and 2020.

Objectives: To investigate the relationship between estimated glucose disposal rates (eGDR) and the progression of frailty, using longitudinal data.
Methods: We analyzed four waves of data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) from 2011 to 2018, involving 6,778 middle-aged and older adults. eGDR was calculated using a specific formula, categorizing participants into high and low eGDR groups based on the lowest quartile (8.

Background: Hospital Frailty Risk Score (HFRS) has recently been used to predict adverse health outcomes including length of stay (LOS) in hospital. LOS is an important indicator for patient quality of care, the measurement of hospital performance, efficiency and costs. Tools to predict LOS may enable earlier interventions in those identified at higher risk of a long stay.
