Good Outcome Following Attempted Resuscitation Score and Clinical Frailty Scale for Estimating Long-Term Mortality

What is the performance of the Good Outcome Following Attempted Resuscitation (GO-FAR) score and Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) to estimate long-term all-cause mortality among medical inpatients?In this ancillary analysis of the CLEAR trial among 2840 medical inpatients, the GO-FAR score and CFS showed good discriminatory performance for all-cause mortality with areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.78 and 0.74, respectively. Both scores showed high specificity but low sensitivity.These results suggest that the GO-FAR score and CFS were effective tools for estimating long-term all-cause mortality and may thus help in clinical decision-making.
