The modified 5-item frailty index in total hip arthroplasty patients: a retrospective cohort from a low-middle income country

The mFI-5 is a practical, efficient tool for predicting postoperative complications in THA patients, particularly in resource-limited environments. Its use in LMICs could improve preoperative planning, reduce complications, and provide better outcome estimates for patients and healthcare providers. Given the growing geriatric population, integrating the mFI-5 into routine THA planning could enhance patient care and resource allocation. Further research is needed to validate its use across larger datasets.
