Brief Summary:
Screen all those\> 65 years of age admitted to the Short Stay Unit for frailty, and detect those who are potentially fragile.
Detailed Description:
Demographic change has led to a change in the profile and age of hospitalized patients, an increase in age and in patients with multiple chronic diseases and more complex health needs is observed.
Frailty is known to impact patient health outcomes with medical and surgical procedures. Thus, frailty is correlated with a greater presence of delirium, longer stays, a greater requirement for complementary examinations, a greater presence of mortality and other post-surgical complications, more dependence, more risks derived from hospitalization, and a greater need for convalescence after discharge.
