Frailty check: simple score may predict One-Year survival in homebound seniors
NCT ID NCT07529470
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a frailty index (a score based on health problems) can predict the risk of dying within one year for older adults (65+) who receive hospital-level care at home. Researchers followed 2,610 patients and compared the frailty score to another common measure. The goal was to better understand which patients are at highest risk, not to test a new treatment.
