Abbreviations: OR, Odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; AUC, area under the receiver operating curve; PPV, positive predictive value; NPV, negative predictive value; *p-value<0.01 for univariate logistic regression model; a) Odds ratio (95%CI) calculated from univariate logistic regression model; all frailty instruments (dependent variables) included as binary variables (frail vs. non-frail); b) AUC calculated from Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC); frailty instruments coded as ordinal variables (clinical frailty phenotype) or continuous variable (FI); c) N=320, (n=14 missing)
