Implication

HF patients warrant frailty assessment regardless of age; no consensus on instruments leaves open standardization in care and research.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Patients with heart failure

Frailty is highly prevalent in heart failure patients and significantly worsens prognosis, necessitating routine multidimensional assessment and tailored management.
