Objective To develop an Oral Frailty Assessment Scale for Elderly Inpatients and test its reliability and validity.Methods Through literature review,qualitative interview,expert consultations and pre-investigation,the preliminary draft of Oral Frailty Assessment Scale for Elderly Inpatients was formed.Using the convenient sampling method,a total of 300 elderly patients who were hospitalized in Geriatrics Department of Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University from April to June 2023 were selected as the research subjects.The reliability and validity of the scale were tested using item analysis,exploratory factor analysis,confirmatory factor analysis and reliability analysis.Results A total of 300 questionnaires were distributed in this study,and 274 valid questionnaires were collected,with an effective response rate of 91.33％(274/300).The Oral Frailty Assessment Scale for Elderly Inpatients included four dimensions of teeth,dry mouth,swallowing and chewing,with a total of 11 items.The exploratory factor analysis extracted four common factors,and the cumulative variance contribution rate was 69.059％.The Cronbach's α coefficient for the scale was 0.76,the split-half reliability coefficient was 0.67,and the retest reliability coefficient was 0.98.Conclusions The Oral Frailty Assessment Scale for Elderly Inpatients has good reliability and validity,which is suitable for evaluating oral frailty in elderly inpatients.
