Frailty the accumulation of deficits conferring increased risk adverse outcomes. We set out to determine how severity frailty, as measured using CFS, affected delirium rates, recognition hospitalised people United Kingdom.

Objective: We characterized patient preferences for riluzole, an expensive medication amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) which extends survival 3 months. Background Although coverage life-prolonging therapies with modest efficacy is controversial, few have investigated whether patients find such treatments valuable, particularly compared to other supportive treatments. Design/Methods: Cross-sectional survey of ALS/Motor Neuron Disease (MND) patients, characterizing riluzole 4 measures:...
