Key result
Modified frailty index (MFI) showed a significant direct correlation with 90-day mortality in geriatric patients undergoing surgery for hip fracture (P < 0.0001).

p-value: p=< 0.0001
The modified frailty index is significantly associated with 90-day mortality in geriatric patients undergoing surgery for hip fracture.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
MFI may aid preoperative risk stratification in geriatric hip fracture surgery; leaves open whether frailty interventions reduce mortality.
Vasu et al. (2018) conducted an observational in Hip fracture (n=60). Modified frailty index (MFI) was evaluated on 90-day mortality (p=< 0.0001). Modified frailty index (MFI) showed a significant direct correlation with 90-day mortality in geriatric patients undergoing surgery for hip fracture (P < 0.0001).
