Frailty assessment significantly impacts outcomes for emergency laparotomy patients, yet documentation rates are low.
Initial audit revealed only 5% of cases documented frailty using the Clinical Frailty Scale before surgery.
Targeted interventions led to an increase in documentation rates to 30.8%, suggesting educational strategies may enhance practice.
Continued efforts are necessary to integrate routine frailty assessments into clinical practices to improve overall patient care.
