Frailty markedly affects outcomes in older PE patients. The HFRS offers a valuable prognostic tool in this population, suggesting that integrating frailty assessments into clinical practice could enhance care strategies and improve patient outcomes. Our findings underscore the need for further research to refine frailty-based care paradigms. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2024; ••: ••-••.
