Abstrakt:	A hospital‐wide point prevalence study investigated frailty and pain in patients with a cancer‐related admission. Modifiable factors associated with frailty in people with cancer were determined through logistic regression. Forty‐eight patients (19%) with cancer‐related admissions were 2.65 times more likely to be frail and 2.12 more likely to have moderate pain. Frailty and pain were highly prevalent among cancer‐related admissions, reinforcing the need for frailty screening and importance of pain assessment for patients with cancer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
