The CFS is a simple screening tool with good construct and criterion-related validity. It was associated with a similar pattern of cognitive deficits as the FP. If confirmed and the associations are extended to other clinically significant characteristics and outcomes, the CFS can be considered as an alternative to the FP and FI in assessing frailty in older PWH.
