Prognostic Value of the Rockwood Clinical Frailty Score in Cardiogenic Shock

Cardiogenic shock (CS) is characterized by tissue hypoperfusion resulting from cardiac dysfunction, without hypovolemia, where the ventricular pump is unable to generate adequate blood flow to meet the metabolic needs of the organs. To date, the management of CS is a challenge for cardiologists and intensive care physicians, particularly with regard to the stratification of the severity of these patients to accurately determine the prognostic outcome. Thus, although specific prognostic scores for CS already exist, they are often inefficient and difficult to calculate quickly at the patient's bedside. For example, the CardShock risk score is a score composed of seven variables (including biological and echocardiographic parameters) allowing in the best case to obtain an area under the curve (AUC) for the prediction of mortality around 0.7. More recently, the SCAI Shock classification was
