In the non-COVID-19-related critical care context, Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) scores ≥5 are associated with between 40 and 60% 30-day mortality after critical care, with much better outcomes seen in older people at lower levels of frailty [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] . Although other authors report that frailty is associated with poorer outcomes in older people with COVID-19 [31] , they studied a population which included those less than 65 years of age, did not adjust for illness severity and did not use the full range of the CFS, for example, reporting on those with CFS scores 7-9, rather than individually as in our study.	./cache/cord-355192-80f2658b.txt	./txt/cord-355192-80f2658b.txt
