Abstract
Cognitive frailty is increasingly prevalent among elderly patients, heightening the risks of dementia, disability, and mortality. This demographic also faces a rising incidence of lung cancer, and cognitive frailty complicates rehabilitation efforts. Research on cognitive frailty in elderly lung cancer patients is still emerging. This review examines the definition and assessment of cognitive frailty, its the current prevalence in this population, and nursing management strategies. While tools for assessing cognitive frailty are not standardized, the incidence remains high, leading to adverse health outcomes. Comprehensive interventions for elderly lung cancer patients with cognitive frailty are insufficient, highlighting the need for more effective strategies to mitigate this issue. The goal is to enhance both research and clinical practices in identifying and diagnosing cognitive frailty in this vulnerable population.
