Summary

This study tests whether a simple frailty scale can better predict serious outcomes like death or longer hospital stays in older adults (65+) with pneumonia. Researchers will compare the frailty score to standard pneumonia severity tools. The goal is to see if adding frailty assessment helps doctors make more accurate decisions in the emergency room.
