Picture-based frailty screening for adults admitted to the ICU

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a prospective observational study using the Pictorial Fit-Frail Scale (PFFS) at the time of ICU admission to classify frailty among patients aged 60 and over. Researchers will collect PFFS scores and examine associations with other prognostic factors and clinical outcomes such as in-hospital and 90-day mortality, hospital length of stay, discharge disposition, and persistent critical care dependency. The study excludes patients with recent ICU admission within 30 days, planned ICU admissions, and admissions for brain-death evaluation. Enrollment is at the Rabin Medical Center ICU and data are collected as part of routine clinical observation without interventional treatment changes.
