Thresholds for classification of patients into one of four frailty groups

1 year risk of death*	1 year risk of unplanned hospital admission*
	≥60.7%	34.1-60.6%	10.1-34.0%	<10.1%
≥47.0%	Severe frailty	Severe frailty	Severe frailty	Severe frailty
20.3-46.9%	Severe frailty	Moderate frailty	Moderate frailty	Moderate frailty
2.9-20.2%	Severe frailty	Moderate frailty	Mild frailty	Mild frailty
<2.9%	Severe frailty	Moderate frailty	Mild frailty	Fit

Patients are classified according to the highest risk group. For example, a patient with a one year risk of death of 50% and a one year risk of unplanned admission of 8% would be classified in the severely frail group; a patient with a one year risk of death of 50% or a one year risk of unplanned admission of 62% would be classified in the severely frail group; and a patient with a 2% risk of death and a 5% risk of unplanned admission would be classified as “fit.”

*Risk thresholds correspond to highest 2%, 10%, and 50% absolute risks.
