NCT ID NCT07727811
First seen Jul 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 28, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aims to measure how common frailty is among elderly patients (age 60 and older) at Assiut University Hospital and identify factors that may be linked to it. Researchers will use a 30-item Frailty Index based on health deficits, along with physical exams and lab tests. The goal is to better understand frailty in this population, which could help improve care for older adults.
