Brief preoperative frailty predicts postoperative adverse outcomes in older patients with radical esophageal cancer surgery
The 5-modified frailty index is a convenient and effective tool to predict postoperative 30-day mortality, delirium and pneumonia in older patients over 65 years old undergoing esophagectomy. The mFI-5 could guide clinical decision-making and become a highly promising prognostic scale for risk stratification of esophageal cancer older patients.
