    ROCKWOOD CLINICAL FRAILTY SCALE

    Frailty is a multidimensional geriatric syndrome characterized by an increased vulnerability to


    various stressors.The clinical frailty scale is a 9-point scale that quantifies frailty based on
    function in individual patients. It is complemented by a visual chart to assist with the
    classification of frailty. Higher scores indicate increased frailty and associated risks. It is not a
    questionnaire, but a way to summarize information from a clinical encounter with an older
    person, in a context in which it is useful to screen for and roughly quantify an individual’s overall
    health status.
