Özet:

 Objectives: This study aimed to demonstrate the validity and reliability of the Edmonton Frail Scale EFS among community-dwelling older adults in Türkiye. Methods: Participants who applied to the geriatrics outpatient clinic of a university hospital were included. The validity of the EFS was tested by its concordance with the Clinical Frailty Scale CFS. Results: The median EFS score was 4.0 IQR: 2.0-7.0, and the median CFS score was 3.0 IQR: 3.0-4.0. There was substantial concordance between EFS and CFS Cohens kappa: 0.715, p0.001. Furthermore, the EFS inter-rater and retest reliability values were excellent Cohens kappa: 0.846, p0.001; Cohens kappa: 1.0, p0.001, respectively. Calculated based on the reference scale, the EFS specificity was 100.0, and the sensitivity was 62.96. Conclusion: The EFS is a valid and reliable scale for assessing frailty in community-dwelling older adults. Its widespread clinical use can help predict adverse health outcomes and enable timely interventions.

 Amaç: Çalışmada Edmonton Kırılganlık Ölçeğinin EKÖ Türkiyede toplumda yaşayan yaşlı yetişkinlerde geçerlik ve güvenirliğinin gösterilmesi amaçlandı. Yöntem: Bir ünivesite hastanesi geriatri polikliniğine başvuran katılımcılar dahil edildi. Edmonton Kırılganlık Ölçeğinin geçerliği Klinik Kırılganlık Skalası KKS ile uyumu ile test edildi. Bulgular: Ortanca EKÖ skoru 4.0 Çeyrekler arası aralık ÇAA: 2.0-7.0 ve ortanca KKS skoru 3.0 ÇAA: 3.0-4.0 idi. Edmonton Kırılganlık Ölçeği ile KKS arasında önemli derecede uyum vardı Cohens kappa: 0.715, p0.001. Edmonton Kırılganlık Ölçeğinin gözlemciler arası ve test-tekrar test güvenirlikleri mükemmeldi Cohens kappa: 0.846, p0.001; Cohens kappa: 1.0, p0.001, sırasıyla. Referans ölçeğe göre hesaplanan değerlerde, EKÖnün seçiciliği 100.0, duyarlılığı 62.96 olarak saptandı. Sonuç: Edmonton Kırılganlık Ölçeği, toplumda yaşayan yaşlı yetişkinlerde geçerli ve güvenilirdir. Klinikte yaygın olarak kullanımı olumsuz sağlık sonuçlarının öngörülmesine ve zamanında müdahelelerin yapılmasına yardımcı olabilir.
