Key Points

  • The aim is to understand how frailty affects outcomes in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and improve personalized care.
  • Conducted systematic screening for frailty in IBD patients.
  • Integrated frailty assessments into existing care pathways.
  • Identified specific assessment tools for evaluating frailty in older patients.
  • Frailty is recognized as a significant factor influencing poor health outcomes in IBD.
  • Screening and managing frailty could enhance overall care for older IBD patients.
  • Future research is necessary to validate assessment tools and test interventions targeting frailty.

Abstract

Frailty is a critical, under-recognized determinant of poor outcomes in IBD. Systematic screening and integration into care pathways could improve patient stratification and management. Future research should aim to validate specific assessment tools and test interventions to ameliorate frailty in older IBD patients.
