Does a multidimensional frailty score improve prediction of postoperative mortality risk compared to conventional methods in geriatric patients undergoing surgery?
Does a multidimensional frailty score improve prediction of postoperative mortality risk compared to conventional methods in geriatric patients undergoing surgery?
A multidimensional frailty score improves postoperative risk prediction in geriatric surgical patients compared to conventional methods.
May support preoperative frailty scoring in geriatric surgery; leaves open effects on management and outcomes.
The multidimensional frailty score based on comprehensive geriatric assessment is more useful than conventional methods for predicting outcomes in geriatric patients undergoing surgery.
