Popis: Objective: The aim was to predict the effectiveness of using frailty, defined by the frailty index (FI), for predicting recurrent pneumonia and death in patients 50 years and older with vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) during long-term hospitalization. Measurements: This retrospective cohort study was conducted at a teaching hospital in western China and included VCI patients aged ≥50 years undergoing long-term hospitalization. The relevant data were collected from the electronic medical record system. The FI was based on 31 parameters and groups were defined using a cutoff value (0.2) as robust (FI
