Frailty and level of dependence at baseline.

Note. Frailty was measured using 5-item Fried frailty criteria: Frail: ≥3 criteria present, nonfrail: <3, nonfrail was considered the combination of robust and prefrail. Each bar shows the proportion of patients who are independent, independent with support, and home care recipient in frail and nonfrail groups (baseline). Of the 97 patients, 66 were frail. In the frail group, 51 (77.3%) were independent, 14 (21.2%) were independent with support, and 1 (1.5%) was home care recipient. In the nonfrail group, 30 (96.8%) were independent and 1 (3.2%) was independent with support.
