Six frailty instruments possessed the highest-rated psychometric properties in RA. These instruments demonstrated construct validity of frailty with important outcomes in RA. Frailty assessment shows promise to inform risk stratification in RA, but studies are needed to evaluate reliability, responsiveness, and validity to support accuracy of frailty measurement in adults with RA who may have disease-related features that differentially impact outcomes.
