Association of Frailty and Perioperative Outcomes Across Surgical Specialties Between 2016 and 2018 Using the National Inpatient Sample Database: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Frailty, as measured by the HFRS, is strongly associated with increased in-hospital mortality and nonhome discharge across surgical subspecialties, especially in emergent settings. Our study demonstrates the need to account for frailty to inform patient-centered care and enhance surgical decision making.
