In response to the increased volume of injured geriatric patients presenting to trauma
centers, the American Association for Surgery of Trauma (AAST) established the Ad Hoc …

The prevalence of older adults undergoing surgery is expected to increase as the population
ages. 1 Because of physiologic decline and loss of functional reserve, older patients are at a …

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 …

OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to analyze the value of an adult spinal deformity
frailty index (ASD-FI) in preoperative risk stratification. Preoperative risk assessment is …

Background Frailty is a condition of increased vulnerability to adverse health outcomes.
Although frailty is an important prognostic factor for many conditions, the effect of frailty on …

BACKGROUND Frail geriatric trauma and emergency general surgery (TEGS) patients have
longer lengths of stay (LOS), more readmissions, and higher rates of postdischarge …

Background Personalized treatment for clinical T1 renal cortical masses (RCMs) should take
into account competing risks related to tumor and patient characteristics. Objective To …

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 …

Objectives To evaluate whether frailty and functional measures are predictors of
perioperative complications and length of hospital stay (LOS) in patients undergoing head …

Purpose Frailty is a condition characterized by a reduced ability to adapt to external
stressors because of a reduced physiologic reserve, which contributes to the high risk of …
