Frailty predicts non-home discharge in anterior lumbar interbody fusion patients

CONCLUSIONS: Frailty, as measured by mFI-5 and RAI-rev, was associated with an increased likelihood of NHD in patients who underwent ALIF. This finding supports recent literature on the promising utility of these indices, especially the RAI-rev, in preoperative decision-making across multiple facets of neurosurgery.PMID:38451062 | DOI:10.23736/S0390-5616.24.06179-4
