ABSTRACT Background Frailty is a syndrome of increased vulnerability to health stressors that associated with adverse outcomes. There no universally accepted method measuring frailty, and choosing among the many tools often confusing for clinicians. Moreover, acute care setting presents unique challenges operationalization frailty measurement, implementation into daily clinical practice has been variable. The objective this scoping review was map out synthesize how being measured used in setting. Methods We Arksey O'Malley's methodological framework reviews. searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, SCOPUS, Google Scholar primary studies assessing from inception May 2023. Results Our search resulted 8834 articles, which 2554 met inclusion criteria. Most articles (75%) were published last 5 years. top three most frequently methods measurement Index (41.0%), Clinical Scale (23.3%), Fried Phenotype (9.3%). More than one assessment tool 11.2% studies. While 99.6% evaluate association outcomes or validity specific tools, only 0.4% prospectively adapt healthcare provision.

With the global population aging, care of elderly cancer patients has become increasingly complex and significant. Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA), a multidimensional evaluation tool, been widely implemented in oncology nursing to enhance precision treatment decisions improve patient outcomes. This review examines application CGA nursing, drawing on literature published between 2010 2024 major databases using keywords such as “Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment” “Oncology Nursing”. It highlights how contributes optimizing selection, monitoring process, improving patients’ quality life long-term provides comprehensive patients, including physical, psychological, social aspects, enabling identification high-risk reducing treatment-related side effects complications. also offers critical foundation for developing personalized plans. The article discusses various practical examples implementation across different countries regions, multidisciplinary collaborative models France, United States, Australia, demonstrating CGA’s flexible diverse healthcare settings. Although significant progress made applying numerous challenges remain its implementation, resource limitations insufficient personnel training. Future research will focus integrating with emerging technologies, artificial intelligence medicine, further outcomes patients.
