Overview

May support SPPB frailty screening on CR admission in elderly; leaves open prospective outcome validation.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Elderly patients admitted to cardiac rehabilitation after an acute cardiac event, interventional, or surgical treatment
I
Intervention
Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) test for functional capacity and frailty assessment

The SPPB is a valuable tool for assessing frailty and physical limitations in elderly patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation, enabling tailored interventions.
