Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Our study aims to compare 4 clinical frailty scores, namely Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS), Edmonton Frail Scale (EFS), FRAIL 5-item scale (FRAIL) and SARC-F Sarcopenia Score (SARC-F), which can potentially be adopted for daily practice in the busy ED. It is timely as we projected that we will be seeing more elderly patients attending the ED for various medical and surgical conditions. Their attendance at the ED would be a good opportunity to screen for frailty among them, and to intervene to prevent adverse outcomes such as ED re-attendance or subsequent hospitalisation that might lead to poor functional outcomes and higher dependence on step-down care facilities.
