Clinical Impact of Measures for Frailty Severity in Poor-Risk Patients Undergoing Revascularization for Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia.

CONCLUSION: The correlations between measures of frailty severity were not always strong but rather widely varied in CLTI patients who required assistance for their daily lives and were candidates for revascularization. Measures of frailty severity, as well as age and inflammatory markers, had a relatively large predictive impact on one-year mortality risk compared with comorbidities and limb severity in the population.
