Description
Lifang Huang and co-authors publish a 2026 systematic review of models that predict frailty in older Chinese stroke patients. Frailty shapes recovery after stroke, and many prediction models have appeared. Few, the authors note, have faced strict quality checks.
Twelve studies entered the review, and eleven entered the pooled analysis. Frequent predictors included age, nerve function, daily activity ability, exercise, and nutrition. Combined accuracy looked modest in the pooled result. Every model carried a high risk of bias, mostly from retrospective designs and weak analysis choices. Samples were often small, and outside validation was lacking. The authors map the field and urge prospective studies before any model guides care.
