Sr. Editor,
La fragilidad es considerada un síndrome geriátrico dinámico donde el deterioro cognitivo, el autorreporte de salud y la pérdida de independencia para realizar actividades básicas e instrumentales se van interrelacionando. Por ello, la Universidad de Dalhousie durante la pandemia por COVID-19 propuso elaborar un algoritmo enfocado en las comorbilidades, alteraciones de salud autorreportadas, dependencia para actividades básicas e instrumentales de la vida diaria que podrían ayudar a determinar el nivel de fragilidad en adultos mayores de manera más certera. El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar la relación entre el algoritmo propuesto por la Universidad de Dalhousie y la Escala Clínica de Fragilidad (CFS) en adultos mayores en diferentes niveles asistenciales durante la pandemia por COVID-19 (1,2).
