Results from Cox regression (HR), linear regression (β coefficient) and logistic regression (OR), 95% CI and p value. Values in bold denote statistically significant results (p <0.05). HR, hazard ratio; OR, odds ratio.

Multivariable adjustment for covariables associated with frailty status in univariable analysis.

∗∗

Results from univariable models concluded there were no significant variables to adjust for in multivariable analysis.
