Key result
The Tilburg Frailty Indicator significantly correlated with other geriatric scales in ACS patients, including HADS (r=0.602, P<0.001), MMSE (r=-0.603, P<0.001), and IADL (r=-0.462, P<0.001).
Why the study?
Does the Tilburg Frailty Indicator correlate with other comprehensive geriatric assessment tools in patients with acute coronary syndrome?
Cross-Sectional (n=135)
No
Does the Tilburg Frailty Indicator correlate with other comprehensive geriatric assessment tools in patients with acute coronary syndrome?
Effect estimate: r=0.602 (HADS); r=-0.603 (MMSE); r=-0.462 (IADL)
p-value: p=<0.001
The Tilburg Frailty Indicator correlates well with established geriatric assessment tools in patients with acute coronary syndrome, supporting its credibility for frailty assessment in this population.
Supports TFI validity in ACS; leaves open prospective outcome validation before routine use.

Uchmanowicz et al. (2015) conducted a cross-sectional in Acute coronary syndrome (n=135). Tilburg Frailty Indicator (TFI) vs. Other geriatric assessment tools (MMSE, HADS, ADL, IADL) was evaluated on Correlation of TFI with other geriatric assessment scales (HADS, MMSE, IADL) (r=0.602 (HADS); r=-0.603 (MMSE); r=-0.462 (IADL), p=<0.001). The Tilburg Frailty Indicator significantly correlated with other geriatric scales in ACS patients, including HADS (r=0.602, P<0.001), MMSE (r=-0.603, P<0.001), and IADL (r=-0.462, P<0.001).
