The concept of frailty is being increasingly recognised as an important element in determining outcomes of critically ill patients.

Frailty evaluation was made based on electronic medical records as were the details and the outcomes of the Code Blue. The primary outcome measure was a composite of hospital mortality or Cerebral Performance Categories scale \u22653. Secondary outcomes included the immediate outcome of the Code Blue and hospital mortality.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>One hundred and forty\u2010eight of 911 screened patients were included in the final analysis.
