Prognostic Value of Preoperative Frailty Assessment in Geriatric Lower Limb Orthopedic Surgery
Sponsor: Benha University
Summary
This retrospective study evaluates the effectiveness of frailty assessment tools-specifically the Risk Analysis Index (RAI) and the 5-Item Modified Frailty Index (5-mFI)-in predicting postoperative outcomes for elderly patients undergoing lower limb orthopedic surgery. The study seeks to determine if these preoperative scores can accurately identify patients at higher risk for 90-day mortality and major complications.
