Frailty is a key determinant of prognosis in older adults with complex chronic conditions and in palliative care settings. The Rockwood Frailty Index (RFI), based on the accumulation of health deficits, has demonstrated prognostic value across multiple clinical contexts. This study evaluates the association between the RFI and overall survival in complex chronic and palliative patients (oncologic and non-oncologic) treated in a Hospital-at-Home (HaH) unit.
