Clinical guidelines on frailty

https://doi.org/10.37586/2686-8636-1-2020-11-46

Abstract

The paper represents clinical guidelines on frailty, developed by Russian Association of gerontologists and geriatricians. The guidelines are dedicated to geriatricians, internal medicine specialists, general practitioners, family doctors and other specialists, dealing with adult patients. The paper includes screening and diagnostic tools and treatment options for patients with frailty, along with prevention, rehabilitation and medical care organization in this cohort of patients.
