The association between self-reported frailty status and 1-year all-cause mortality and readmission following PCI: A prospective multi-centre cohort study, CONCARDPCI

Key Points

• Frailty status was not linked to the composite endpoint of mortality or readmission, highlighting potential limits in predictive value.
• Unintended weight loss emerged as a significant prognostic indicator for readmission, suggesting focus areas for patient management.
• Chair rise ability correlated with mortality outcomes, indicating the importance of physical function assessment in frail patients.
• Results indicate a need for further analysis on frailty metrics and their role in clinical outcomes in PCI patients.
