The assessment of frailty is crucial for the management and care of older adults. The Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) has been proposed as a useful and practical tool for this assessment, but its implementation requires translation and validation to the specific cultural context.
A standardized process of translation and cultural adaptation of the CFS in its second version was carried out. Then, 44 participants were recruited, including geriatricians and geriatrics residents, who evaluated 11 clinical cases using the scale. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to assess the variability between the evaluators.
A total of 484 evaluations were obtained (11 cases, 44 evaluators) with an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.98. The sensitivity analysis showed no differences between subgroups of evaluators separated by years of experience or specialty status (certified geriatricians or those in training).
The Spanish version of the CFS is reliable and practical for the assessment of frailty in older adults in Chile, constituting a valuable tool for this purpose in this context.
衰弱评估对于老年人的管理和护理至关重要。临床衰弱量表（CFS）已被提议作为一种用于此评估的有用且实用的工具，但其实施需要针对特定文化背景进行翻译和验证。
对第二版CFS进行了标准化的翻译和文化调适过程。然后，招募了44名参与者，包括老年病医生和老年病学住院医师，他们使用该量表对11个临床病例进行了评估。组内相关系数（ICC）用于评估评估者之间的变异性。
共获得484次评估（11个病例，44名评估者），组内相关系数为0.98。敏感性分析表明，按经验年限或专业地位（认证老年病医生或培训中的医生）划分的评估者亚组之间没有差异。
CFS西班牙语版对于智利老年人衰弱评估是可靠且实用的，在此背景下构成了用于此目的的有价值工具。
