Abstract
Background and Purpose: Frailty is defined as a clinically recognizable state of increased vulnerability resulting from aging-associated declines in reserve and function across multiple physiologic systems such that the ability to cope with everyday or acute stressors is comprised. Frailty assessment is commonly reserved for the geriatric population and the outpatient setting. The purpose of this review is to discuss the concept of frailty in the acute care setting and its relevance to those in the adult, nongeriatric population.
