“…Perhaps the most notable finding of this study was the worst outcomes observed for those patients with metastatic cancer and higher frailty degree, with particularly high mortality in patients exhibiting both factors. In Wagner and colleagues’ study cohort, 5 more than one-quarter of these patients with LLI had higher degrees of frailty (clinical frailty scale [CFS] score ≥6). This is in keeping with recent studies, which have found significantly worse health outcomes in these higher-frailty degree patients, 6 including a longer stay in ICU and hospital, non-home discharge, complications (delirium, pressure injuries), and mortality.…”
