Sintesi	The Morisky Medication Adherence Scale is a brief, validated tool developed by Donald Morisky in 1986 to measure patients' adherence to prescribed medications. Originally created to assess hypertension medication compliance, it has since become a standard screening instrument across chronic disease management, primary care, and pharmaceutical research. The scale is valued for its brevity, ease of administration, and predictive validity for clinical outcomes.	The Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS), developed by Kenneth Rockwood and colleagues in 2005, is a brief, validated tool for assessing frailty in older adults. Frailty—a syndrome of diminished physiologic reserve, increased vulnerability, and reduced functional ability—is recognized as a distinct clinical state that predicts mortality, disability, and healthcare utilization independent of age and comorbidities. The CFS uses a seven-point (or nine-point in later versions) clinical judgment-based scale, making it practical and rapid for bedside use in hospitals, clinics, and long-term care.
