Proportional hazards models with discrete frailty

We extend proportional hazards frailty models for lifetime data to allow a negative bi-nomial, Poisson, Geometric or other discrete distribution of the frailty variable. This might represent, for example, the unknown number of flaws in an item under test.

Ethical and Legal Implications of Frailty Screening

, 2018
Goals of screening for frailty include (a) promoting healthy aging, (b) addressing frailty with preventive and targeted interventions, (c) better aligning social and medical responses to frailty with the needs of frail older adults and (d) preventing ...

Orthopedic frailty risk stratification (OFRS): a systematic review of the frailty indices predicting adverse outcomes in orthopedics

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research
Background With a growing number of elderly patients requiring elective and non-elective procedures, frailty-based preoperative risk stratification is an emerging tool in orthopedic surgery to minimize adverse postoperative outcomes. This paper sought to
