Postoperative Adverse Outcomes in Patients With Frailty Undergoing Urologic Surgery Among American Patients: A Propensity-Score Matched Retrospective Cohort Study
Patients with an mFI-5 score of 2 or greater were associated with an increased risk of postoperative mortality and complications, including myocardial infarction, pneumonia, sepsis, and septic shock. The mFI-5 is a simple index that quickly identifies frail patients. This allows for the implementation of prehabilitation and nutritional strategies targeted at enhancing their physiological reserve and optimizing their surgical outcomes.
