Overview

Retrospective chart review compares RAI‐C and MFI‐5 in predicting postoperative complications, revealing RAI‐C's superior predictive performance.

Key Points

  • RAI‐C predicts postoperative complications more accurately, with 5.7 times higher odds of complications for frail patients.
  • Among 1209 patients, 21% met MFI‐5 frailty criteria while 23% met RAI‐C criteria.
  • Chi-square analysis and ROC curves were used to assess the predictive ability of the frailty indices in postoperative outcomes.
  • RAI‐C assessment offers improved predictive capabilities for 30-day readmission compared to MFI‐5 in surgery patients.
