Abstract Background A frailty index based solely on laboratory blood and urine tests (FI-Lab) might be an easy and quick frailty instrument in hospitalized geriatric patients. Our aims were to evaluate the predictive abilities of a FI-Lab assessed at different points in time, ie, at admission to hospital (FI-Lab21admission) and before discharge from hospital (FI-Lab21discharge), and the change of the FI-Lab during the hospital stay (FI-Lab21admission minus FI-Lab21discharge) for six-month and one-year mortality in hospitalized geriatric patients. Methods 500 patients aged ≥ 65 years hospitalized on geriatric wards were included in this analysis. Follow-up data were acquired at six months and one year after the baseline examination. Res...
