Data collection
RS
SECONDARY
Data were collected at baseline and six months post-intervention from both CGA & CSP and TAU groups. Baseline data collection was conducted by practice nurses at participants' homes. A research nurse collected Post-intervention data over the phone (please see section ‘Deviation from protocol’). A data collection form containing all data items was developed before the start of the study following discussion amongst the team members. Data items and variables included sociodemographic variables, eFI, physical frailty test results, frailty diagnosis, and study outcomes (see secondary outcomes). Individuals responsible for screening and inviting patients were trained to identify and invite eligible participants and systematically record the observations, including reasons for non-participation. The training was also given to nurses at participating GP centres by the lead researcher (RS) about frailty assessment and data collection.
