Kaplan-Meier survival curves by cognitive impairment and frailty status (n = 542). Patients were divided into groups of RP, CI, PF and CF via the combination of the MMSE + CDT and Fried phenotype, which were significantly different (log-rank χ2 = 15.78; P < 0.001). Pairwise comparisons with adjustment for multiple comparisons demonstrated significant differences between the CF and RP groups (χ2 = 10.54;P < 0.001), and PF and RP groups (χ2 = 9.24;P = 0.002), although there was no significant difference between the CI and RP groups (χ2 = 1.21;P = 0.27). RP, robust patients; CI, cognitive impairment; PF, physical frailty; CF, cognitive frailty; MMSE, mini-mental state examination; CDT, clock drawing test
