Novel Frailty Screening Questionnaire (FSQ) Predicts 8-year Mortality in Older Adults in China.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAlthough frailty status greatly impacts health care in countries with rapidly aging populations, little is known about the frailty status in Chinese older adults.
objectivesGiven the increased health care needs associated with frailty, we sought to develop an easily applied self-report screening tool based on four of the syndromic frailty components and sought to validate it in a population of older adults in China.
designProspective epidemiological cohort study.
settingCommunity-dwelling residents living in Beijing, China.
participants1724 community-dwelling adults aged ≥60 years in 2004 with an 8-year follow up. MEASUREMENTS: We developed a simple self-report frailty screening tool-the Frailty Screening Questionnaire (FSQ)-based on the modified Fried frailty components. The predictive ability for outcome was assessed by age and sex adjusted Cox proportional hazards model.
resultsAccording to FSQ criteria, 7.1% of the participants were frail. Frailty was associated with poor physical function, fractures, falls, and mortality. Both frailty and pre-frailty were associated with a higher mortality rate: frailty-hazards ratio (HR), 3.94, 95% confidence interval (CI), 3.16-4.92, P<0.001; pre-frailty-HR, 1.89; 95% CI, 1.57-2.27, P <0.001; adjusted models for this variable did not affect the estimates of the association. Among the four frailty components, slowness was the strongest predictor of mortality. The combination of the four components provided the best risk prediction.
conclusionsFSQ is a self-report frailty measurement tool that can be rapidly performed to identify older adults with higher risk of adverse health outcomes.
