The Influence of Frailty on Total Hip Arthroplasty Outcomes: A Propensity-Matched Study of 90,660 Patients Using the Modified Frailty Index
Frailty severity, as measured by the mFI-5, was associated with a stepwise increase in short- and long-term complications and mortality following THA. The mFI-5 may serve as a practical, scalable tool for preoperative risk stratification, counseling, and resource planning in older adults undergoing primary THA.
