New Surgical Frailty Scoring Tool: Modified 4-Factor Functional Frailty Index
The new mFF-4 scoring tool embodies the true frailty phenotype to accurately predict 30-day outcomes across surgical subspecialties and the overall population. It can serve as a new NSQIP "frailty" definition while also providing a framework for surgeons and patients alike to conceptualize the elevated risks it poses.
