BACKGROUND: The two most commonly used methods to identify frailty are the frailty phenotype and the frailty index. However, both methods have limitations in clinical application. In addition, methods for measuring frailty have not yet been standardi...

AIM: Pre-injury frailty has been investigated as a tool to predict outcomes of older trauma patients. Using artificial intelligence principles of machine learning, we aimed to identify a "signature" (combination of clinical variables) that could pred...

Studying frailty is crucial for enhancing the health and quality of life among older adults, refining healthcare delivery methods, and tackling the obstacles linked to an aging demographic. Approaches to frailty modeling often utilise simple analytic...
INTRODUCTION: Frailty is an emerging global health burden, and there is no consensus on the precise prediction of frailty. We aimed to explore the association between grip strength and frailty and interpret the optimal machine learning (ML) model usi...
Gravity, an invisible but constant force , challenges the regulation of blood pressure when transitioning between postures. As physiological reserve diminishes with age, individuals grow more susceptible to such stressors over time, risking inadequat...
Frailty is common among older adults with chronic pain, and early identification is crucial in preventing adverse outcomes like falls, disability, and dementia. However, effective tools for identifying frailty in this population remain limited. This ...
BACKGROUND: Frailty assessment is imperative for tailoring healthcare interventions for older adults, but its implementation remains challenging due to the effort and time needed. The advances of artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language proc...
