Fig. 1From: The clinical frailty scale predicts functional decline and mortality when used by junior medical staff: a prospective cohort studyFor each increased level of frailty there is a corresponding increase in the percentage of people experiencing functional decline (frailty score 1-3: 34 %, 4-5: 46 % and 6-8: 70 %). There was an overall trend for increasing mortality with increasing frailty (frailty score 1-3: 10 %, 4-5:4 %, 6-8: 10 % and 9: 100 %)Back to article page
