Σύνοψη	The Edmonton Frail Scale (EFS) is a comprehensive, nine-domain assessment tool developed by Rolfson and colleagues in 2006 to systematically evaluate frailty across multiple physiological and functional dimensions in older adults. Combining clinical judgment with objective testing, the EFS assesses cognition, general health status, functional independence, social support, medication use, nutrition, mood, continence, and functional performance, providing a multidimensional frailty profile. It is widely used in geriatric clinics, acute care settings, and research to characterize the nature and severity of frailty.	The FRAIL Scale is a brief, five-item clinical screening tool developed by John E. Morley and colleagues to identify frailty in older adults. Designed as a simple and efficient alternative to more comprehensive frailty assessments, it incorporates the key domains of the frailty phenotype: fatigue, resistance, ambulation, illness, and weight loss. The FRAIL Scale is widely used in primary care, hospital, and long-term care settings to stratify risk and guide management decisions.
