Association of entirely claims-based frailty indices with long-term outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, or pneumonia: a nationwide cohort study in Turkey

Description

Background: Several countries have increasingly focused on improving care for acute myocardial infarction (AMI), heart failure (HF), and pneumonia to reduce their readmissions and mortality rates. Frailty is becoming increasingly important to accurately predict healthcare utilization for the aging population. The preferred method for the measurement of frailty remains unclear, and current risk-adjustment models do not account for frailty. We sought to compare commonly used frailty indices in terms of the ability to predict clinical adverse outcomes in AMI, HF, and pneumonia patients.
