METHODS We performed a prospective cohort study of all elderly (age≥ 65 years) trauma
patients presenting at our level one trauma center. Patient's frailty status was calculated …

Background Frailty is highly prevalent in the elderly and confers high risk for adverse
outcomes. We aimed to assess the impact of frailty on critically ill older adult trauma patients …

BACKGROUND The frailty index is a known predictor of adverse outcomes in geriatric
patients. Trauma-Specific Frailty Index (TSFI) was created and validated at a single center to …

Importance The Frailty Index (FI) is a known predictor of adverse outcomes in geriatric
patients. The usefulness of the FI as an outcome measure in geriatric trauma patients is …

Background Population ageing is a worldwide phenomenon; thanks to improvements in
medical care and living standards. The Office of National Statistics in the UK predicts that the …

Background The 5-item modified frailty index (mFI-5) has been shown to predict adverse
outcomes in surgery; yet, its role in trauma patients is unclear. We hypothesized that …

Introduction The incidence of major trauma in older people is increasing. Frailty is likely to
be a factor that influences the outcomes of trauma. We conducted a systematic review …

BACKGROUND Different frailty scores have been proposed to measure frailty. No study has
compared their predictive ability to predict outcomes in trauma patients. The aim of our study …

BACKGROUND Frailty syndrome (FS) is a well-established predictor of outcomes in geriatric
patients. The aim of this study was to quantify the prevalence of FS in geriatric trauma …

As our population ages and increasing numbers of older patients experience major trauma it
is important to understand factors that influence outcomes in this patient cohort. The aim of …
