Although many frailty tools have been used to predict traumatic spinal injury (TSI) outcomes,
identifying predictors of outcomes after TSI in the aged population is difficult. Frailty, age …

Frailty negatively affects outcome in elective spine surgery populations. This study sought to
determine the effect of frailty on patient outcome after traumatic spinal cord injury (tSCI) …

BACKGROUND: Literature evaluating frailty in traumatic spinal cord injury (tSCI) is limited.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the prognostic significance of baseline frailty status in tSCI …

Frailty is a known predictor of negative health outcomes. The role of frailty in predicting
outcomes after traumatic brain injury (TBI), however, is unclear. This systematic review …

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 Frailty is a risk factor for mortality among the elderly. However, evidence
from longitudinal studies linking trauma and frailty is fragmented, and a comprehensive …

Study Design Retrospective Cohort Study. Introduction The 11-item modified Frailty index
(mFI-11) by the ACS-NSQIP database was used to predict which patients are high risk for …

Objective The aim of this study was to determine if baseline frailty was an independent
predictor of adverse events (AEs) and in-hospital mortality in patients being treated for acute …

Introduction The trauma population is aging and better prognostic measures for geriatric
trauma patients are required. Frailty rather than age appears to be associated with poor …

BACKGROUND Elderly trauma patients have outcomes worse than those of similarly injured
younger patients. Although patient age and comorbidities explain some of the difference, the …
