ABSTRACT
In this letter, we report a small study which aimed to examine the correlation between frailty and pain in elderly patients admitted to an Internal Medicine ward. Consecutive patients, aged 65 or older, admitted during a 1-month period were recruited for the purposes of the study. All patients provided their written informed consent before their inclusion. We measured frailty using the Portuguese version of Tilburg Frailty Indicator (TFI) and pain with the Pain Impact Questionnaire (PIQ-6). Patients less than 65 years of age or with severe intellectual impairment according to the Portable Mental Status Questionnaire, as well as individuals who refused to participate, were excluded.
