To validate the Chinese Clinical Frailty Scale for older patients undergoing knee osteoarthritis surgery.
Conducted psychometric validation of the SC-CFS in older Chinese patients with end-stage knee osteoarthritis.
Assessed reliability and validity of the scale for frailty evaluation.
The SC-CFS demonstrated strong psychometric properties.
Supports its use in surgical risk stratification and personalized perioperative care.

Implication

Psychometric properties support the SC-CFS for evaluating surgical risk in older Chinese patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Abstract

The SC‑CFS is a reliable and valid instrument for preoperative frailty assessment in older Chinese KOA patients. Its robust psychometric properties support its integration into surgical risk stratification and personalized perioperative care.
