Abstract
Background
Heart failure (HF) with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) > 40% is common in older adults and carries a substantial risk of post-discharge rehospitalisation. However, the prognostic association of the Fried frailty phenotype with short-term rehospitalisation remains incompletely characterised.
