Observational analysis reveals frailty influences 30-day outcomes in spinal cord injury surgery, suggesting RAI's predictive value.

Frailty significantly correlates with adverse outcomes post-spinal cord injury surgery, demonstrating predictive power.
In 10,000 SCI patients, mortality rates rose sharply from 1.5% to 11.8% based on frailty levels, highlighting its impact.
Analysis focused on the Risk Analysis Index reveals superior predictive validity over the modified frailty index in surgery.
Optimal frailty assessment can help in resource allocation and improve perioperative decision-making for high-risk groups.

Sbaih et al. (2025) studied this question.
