- Outcome instruments to measure frailty: a systematic review. (2011, background): “For this reason a number of more or less well known frailty screening instrumentswere not included in this systematic review, for example the Edmunton Frail Scale (Rolfson, 2006).”
- The Effectiveness of Exercise Interventions for the Management of Frailty: A Systematic Review (2011, methodology): “The most commonly used definitions of frailty are the frailty phenotype [5], the frailty index [6], the classification of frailty and vigorousness [7], and the Edmonton frail scale [8].”
- Frailty in the older surgical patient: a review. (2012, neutral): “The measurement tools that exist are either scoring systems based on various aspects of physical, cognitive or functional capability [28, 30, 38 – 40] or are ‘ surrogate single measures ’ of frailty based on assessment of functional status [41 – 43].”
