Objective: To compare the accuracy of the modified Fried Index (mFI) and the Clinical Frailty
Scale (CFS) to predict death or patient-reported new disability 90 days after major elective …

BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Adequate preoperative risk stratification is essential for surgical
planning and preoperative patient counseling, especially for operations known to have a …

Background Many assessment tools have been used to identify frail surgical patients. This
study was designed to explore the prediction value of the frailty index (FI) for postoperative …

We sought to test whether frailty may be predictive of operative risk in older adults with
medical problems. One hundred and twenty-five patients at least 70 years of age had a …

Study Design: Retrospective study of prospectively collected data. Objective: To analyze the
modified frailty index (mFI) as a predictor of adverse postoperative events following posterior …

Objective The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of baseline frailty status (as
measured by modified frailty index-5 [mFI-5]) versus age on postoperative outcomes of …

Frailty is defined as diminished physiological reserve predisposing one to adverse
outcomes when exposed to stressors. Currently, there is no standardized Frail assessment …

BACKGROUND: Guidelines recommend routine preoperative frailty assessment for older
people. However, the degree to which frailty instruments improve predictive accuracy when …

Background: Frailty can be defined as a biological syndrome of reduced reserve and
resistance to stressful events. Evidence suggests that this syndrome is linked to adverse …

Purpose Perioperative frailty increases postoperative complications, mortality, and new
functional dependence. Despite this, routine perioperative frailty screening is not …
