Why the study?
Is frailty phenotype an independent short-term prognostic marker in elderly patients with high-risk acute coronary syndrome?
Is frailty phenotype an independent short-term prognostic marker in elderly patients with high-risk acute coronary syndrome?
Frailty is highly prevalent (over one third) and serves as an independent short-term prognostic marker in elderly patients with high-risk acute coronary syndrome.
Frailty may refine short-term prognostication in elderly high-risk ACS; hypothesis-generating for intervention trials.
Over one third of elderly patients with high-risk acute coronary syndrome are frail. Frailty phenotype is an important and independent prognostic marker in these patients.
