Frailty as a risk factor for poor functional recovery in the year post-delirium might be attributable in part to its impact on incomplete delirium recovery at discharge (RSSD). Our findings support screening and interventions for frailty at admission, and extended rehabilitation for frail individuals with RSSD. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2017; 17: 2472-2478.
