From: Frailty’s influence on 30-day mortality in old critically ill ICU patients: a bayesian analysis evaluating the clinical frailty scale

Fig. 2

In our research, we assessed the relationship between frailty—quantified using the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS)—and 30-day mortality in critically ill elderly patients. The observed association was pronounced, illuminating the pivotal role that frailty might have in forecasting short-term mortality within this demographic. To quantify the likelihood of this association and to estimate the effect size, we employed Bayesian modeling, providing a more nuanced understanding of the probabilities that frailty is linked with adverse outcomes. Recognizing this relationship is imperative; as it not only deepens our understanding of the associated risk factors but also empowers clinicians to deliver more tailored care
