Aim:
To reach consensus on modifiable risk factors for a novel system of care to address
Manifestations of Frailty (MoF) in hospitalised older adults.
Design:
Consensus study.
Method:
A modified nominal group technique, incorporating expert group face-to-face interaction, review of
existing evidence and pre/post meeting questionnaire completion was undertaken November
2019–February 2020.
Results:
Seventy-one risk factors, within seven risk factor domains (pain, medication, fluid and nutrition
intake, mobility, elimination, infection, additional patient factors) were considered. It was agreed
that 44 risk factors incorporating patient, organisational and environmental risk factors were
modifiable and should be included in a novel system of care.
