Summary

Frailty is a common clinical syndrome in older adults, which may be assessed through various assessment tools. One frequently used tool is the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) which potentially can be adopted for daily use in the Emergency Department and has been appraised for reliability to some extent, but have so far not been evaluated in the Swedish emergency care context.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the inter-rater reliability of the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) in a clinical Swedish Emergency Department (ED) setting. Members of multidisciplinary emergency care teams will conduct the assessments individually.
