Testing a new way to check frailty in hospitalized seniors
This trial studies a new tool that helps doctors measure “frailty” in older adults who are hospitalized. It may help hospitals identify risks earlier and tailor care for seniors who are more vulnerable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 65 or older
- Be admitted to the ACE Unit (a specific hospital unit)
- Be able to walk or move around on your own (not completely unable to walk)
- Do not have end-stage lung, kidney (on dialysis), or heart failure
- If you do not meet the age/unit/mobility needs above, you are likely not eligible
