Frailty Index for prediction of surgical outcome in ovarian cancer: Results of a prospective study.

CONCLUSION: Next to surgical complexity score, ECOG PS > 1 and recurrent surgery, Frailty Index >0.26 is associated with severe postoperative complications in patients with ovarian cancer. Besides tumor residuals and low albumin levels a Frailty Index >0.15 predicts poor survival. PMID: 33608143 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
