Evaluating the Use of 5-Factor Modified Frailty Index to Predict Wound-Healing Complications in Reduction Mammoplasty

Abstract

In our population, the mFI-5 was not a statistically significant predictor of wound healing complications following reduction mammoplasty. When controlling for confounders, advanced age alone seems to place patients at higher risk for wound healing complications.
