This study aimed to examine factors predicting frailty in brain tumor patients after craniotomy. METHODS: This study was a cross-sectional predictive study. The sample included 85 patients who were 18 years or older and underwent craniotomy with tumor removal from 1 university hospital in Bangkok, Thailand, between February and October 2021. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistic, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression, which determined significance level at .05. RESULTS: The prevalence of frailty among participants was 50.6%. Postoperative symptom and mood state were positively associated with frailty (r = 0.410 and r = 0.448, respectively; P
