Abstract
OBJECTIVES: The Reported Edmonton Frail Scale (REFS) uses clock drawing as a measure of cognition. However, many patients in the acute hospital setting present with an inability to clock-draw. We considered an alternative method for assessing cognition based on a history of cognitive impairment. METHODS: We created a modified version of the REFS (mod-REFS), utilising the same domains as the REFS, in which a screening question of cognition substitutes the clock-drawing task. Data were collected from a prospective cohort study. RESULTS: Of 181 participants, frailty measured with either the REFS or the mod-REFS found equivalence. A comparison between clock drawing and cognitive question scores demonstrated a complete agreement for 152 patients (84%), a reduction in cognition score for 25 (14%) and an increase for 4 (2%). CONCLUSION: We suggest the mod-REFS will improve the frailty assessment in the acute hospital setting, overcoming the limitations associated with clock drawing.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
