What this means
Researchers plan to test whether three structured video or phone visits over 12 weeks help older adults recover from frailty. This trial has not started recruiting, so no results exist yet.

Registry summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a structured tele-consultation program, delivered 3 times over 12 weeks, can improve (reverse) frailty in geriatric patients recently discharged from the hospital. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Does structured tele-consultation covering physical exercise, nutrition, and home care education change health behavior in older adults after hospital discharge?
- Does this change in health behavior lead to improvement in frailty, as measured by Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) score?
- Does this change in health behavior lead to improvement in frailty, as measured by decreased interleukin-6 (IL-6) and myostatin levels and increased albumin levels?
- Does this change in health behavior lead to improvement in frailty, as measured by increased hand grip strength?
Researchers will compare participants receiving structured tele-consultation (delivered 3 times over 12 weeks) to participants receiving usual care to see if tele-consultation leads to greater improvement in health behavior and frailty status.
Participants will:
- Undergo baseline assessment of CFS score, hand grip strength, and blood sampling for IL-6, albumin, and myostatin shortly after hospital discharge
- Be randomly assigned to receive either structured tele-consultation (3 sessions over 12 weeks, covering physical exercise, nutrition, and home care education) or usual care
- Undergo repeat assessment of health behavior, CFS score, hand grip strength, and the same blood markers at the end of the 12-week period
