Five-factors Modified Frailty Index role as predictors of outcomes after proximal abdominal aortic aneurysms

CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that mFI-5 is a tool capable to identify "frail" patients, who appear to be at increased risk of postoperative AKI and mid-term mortality, but not 30-day mortality. Five-factor modified Frailty Index assessment is simple, fast and can be widely applied in surgical practice to perform appropriate risk stratifications.PMID:37943290 | DOI:10.23736/S0392-9590.23.05071-X
