Abstract

This single-centre pilot study evaluated the feasibility of preoperative frailty self-assessment. We report that patients can complete a modified CFS achieving moderate agreement with the clinician's CFS assessment. This study provides an important foundation for further development and validation work to establish feasibility and suitability to incorporate within early preoperative screening initiatives.
