초록	We evaluated that 533 elderly patients (aged ≥ 65 years) conducted a comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) within 1 year before the index hospitalization. We examined five variables (activity of daily living [ADL] and instrumental ADL dependence, dementia, nutrition, and polypharmacy) from CGA. We categorized the patients into 3 groups according to the tertile of aggregate frailty scores: Group 1, score 1-2; Group 2, score 3-4; Group 3, score 5-8). The frailest group (Group 3) showed an increased risk of AKI as compared to Group 1 during admission. The frailest group also demonstrated an increased risk of discharge to nursing facilities, and 90-day and 1-year mortality as compared to Group 1, independent of AKI severity. Frailty may independently predict the development of AKI and adverse outcomes in geriatric inpatients.
