| Core Tip |
Conventional acute illness severity scoring often neglects baseline frailty, leading to inaccurate risk stratification in acute and critical care settings. This mini-review proposes a novel framework comprising a synergistic 2 × 2 risk stratification matrix and a 4-step clinical triage algorithm that integrates acute illness severity scores with the “Two-Week Rule” for baseline Clinical Frailty Scale assessment. By identifying distinct clinical phenotypes, specifically masked resilience and masked risk, clinicians can move beyond one-dimensional triage to make precise, person-centered decisions regarding treatment escalation and goals-of-care planning. This ensures acute geriatric care remains medically proportionate to attainable functional recovery rather than simple physiological stabilization. |
