Utility of hospital frailty risk score for predicting postoperative outcomes in craniopharyngioma

ConclusionIn patients undergoing any surgery for craniopharyngioma, frailty is predictive of increased hospital length of stay and overall care costs. HFRS failed to independently predict mortality because the incidence of mortality is too low in this population to analyze. The HFRS is a valuable tool to identify post-operative outcomes following surgery for craniopharyngioma.
