An observational study evaluating prevalence of frailty in patients with urological disease (FRAURO study) - An observational study evaluating prevalence of frailty in patients with urological disease (FRAURO study)

We developed a quantitative and comprehensive geriatric assessment tool (frailty discriminant score: FDS), including 10 items, and reported the utility of this tool for treatment selection and prognosis. Also, we investigated frailty-based biological ages using FDS and found the age discrepancy between the biological and expected life ages of >5 years was also significantly associated with poor overall survival in patients with urological cancers.
