Abstract in brief

  • The study developed and validated an Electronic Frailty Index (EFI) using routinely collected electronic health data from a national health organization, focusing on patients aged 65 and over.
  • The EFI included 36 medical, functional, and social deficits, and the results showed that higher EFI scores were associated with significantly increased risks (207, 335, and 44 times) of mortality or hospitalization within one year.
  • The study confirmed that the EFI is a valid tool for predicting health outcomes like death or hospitalization and aligns well with an independent social security measurement, supporting its usefulness in clinical assessments.
