Changes in physical fitness in CGA unit and conventional care.

Notes: The number (%) of patients that declined, were stable, or improved in physical fitness in CGA unit (intervention group) and in conventional care (control group). We used the change of the study population, and if changed one quartile or more, it was assumed to be a relevant change. Handgrip strength (kg): decline: <−2 kg, stable: −1 to +2 kg, improvement: ≥+3 kg. 6-MWT (m): decline: <−50 m, stable: −49 to +23 m, improvement: >+24 m. TUG (s): decline: slower than +1.3 s, stable: +1.2 to −6.3 s, improvement: faster than −6.4 s.

Abbreviations: TUG, timed up-and-go; 6-MWT, 6-minute walk test; CGA, Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment.
