AB  - This was a cross-sectional validation study of the Chinese-Canadian study of 
      health and aging clinical frailty scale telephone version (CSHA-CFS TV). The 
      study pool consisted of 67 patients of outpatient clinics at a tertiary medical 
      center in Taipei, Taiwan. They were enrolled in the program comprehensive 
      geriatric assessment and the frailty study of elderly patients (CGAFSEP). The 
      Chinese-Canadian study of health and aging clinical frailty scale physician 
      version (CSHA-CFS PV) is a 7-point scale assigned after comprehensive geriatric 
      assessments. Higher score indicates frailer status. The Chinese-Canadian study of 
      health and aging clinical frailty scale (CSHA-CFS) telephone version (TV) 
      included 17 questions adapted from the physician version. Two trained research 
      assistants conducted the telephone interviews. Administration time was <3 min. 
      Standard reliability and validity measures were applied. Three-fifths of the 
      subjects were older than 75 years, and half of them were females. Inter-rater 
      reliability was achieved with weighted kappa of 0.684, (p=0.002) between first 20 
      ratings from 2 interviewers. Criterion validity was achieved with weighted kappa 
      of 0.689 (p<0.0001) and Kendal's tau of 0.612 (p<0.0001) between the TV and the 
      PV scores. Divergent validity was demonstrated with significant correlation but 
      only fair agreements comparing both TV and PV scores with the cardiovascular 
      health survey (CHS) phenotypic definition of frailty. One could conclude that the 
      CSHA-CFS TV appears to be a quick, reliable, and valid frailty screening 
      instrument for community-dwelling elderly.
