Stow D, et al. - Experts identified trajectories that could indicate where an individual is at increased risk of all-cause mortality and may require palliative care by evaluating the changes in frailty over 1 year in this longitudinal population-based study. They found a distinctive frailty trajectory in the last 12 months of life, with a rapid initial rise from a low baseline, followed by a plateau in adults aged ≥ 75 years with frailty who are at highest risk of death. Findings suggested the usefulness of routine measurement of frailty to support clinicians in identifying individuals with frailty who are potential candidates for palliative care and allow time for an intervention.
