Moderate and severe frailty were linked to 66% and 141% higher odds of developing hearing loss, respectively, compared with the study’s reference group.Moderate and severe frailty were linked to 66% and 141% higher odds of developing hearing loss, respectively, compared with the study’s reference group.
In the model’s validation sample, screening the highest-risk 20% identified 55.6% of frailty cases, a 2.78-fold improvement over random screening.In the model’s validation sample, screening the highest-risk 20% identified 55.6% of frailty cases, a 2.78-fold improvement over random screening.
