Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • To know the degree of frailty with the frail VIG index in patients admitted to the short-stay unit

    The Frail Vig index ("VIG" is the spanish/catalan abbreviation for Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment) is a new, more concise Frailty index for rapid geriatric assessment, which contains 22 simple questions that assess 25 different deficits. The Frail VIG index score assesses the degree of frailty as a continuous variable. The value of the Frail VIG index is between 0 (absence of frailty) and 0.7 (severe frailty)
