  ABSTRACT: Objective: To identify the relationship between hospitalization and occurrence of death among frail older adults in the scientific productions on the topic. Method: An integrative literature review is conducted by elaborating the research question, searching in the databases using descriptors, presenting and interpreting the results, and synthesizing the knowledge. Results: The search performed in April 2023 yielded 5804 studies, of which seven remained after applying the inclusion/exclusion criteria. There was an association between frailty and postoperative mortality in the older adults, p p Conclusion: An association was verified between frailty and in-hospital death, signaling frailty as a prognosis for negative outcomes. It is considered fundamental to assess frailty in frail aged people.
