Here, we report the prognostic performance of an electronic frailty index (eFI) in comparison with traditional tools among nonfrail and prefrail community-dwelling older adults. The study is to investigate the predictive utility of a deficit-accumulation eFI in community elders without overt frailty.enClinical frailty scale; Emergency room visits; Falls; Frailty; Frailty index; Frailty phenotype; Hospitalizations[SDGs]SDG2[SDGs]SDG3[SDGs]SDG5Prediction of adverse health outcomes using an electronic frailty index among nonfrail and prefrail community eldersjournal article10.1186/s12877-023-04160-137550602
