TL;DR

Frailty, assessed using the mFI-5, is an independent predictor of pneumonia and infections in older adults with CSCI and early assessment of frailty may facilitate perioperative risk stratification, targeted preventive strategies, and informed clinical decision-making in this high-risk population.

Prognostic value of the 5-Item Modified Frailty Index in elderly patients undergoing free flap reconstruction for head and neck cancer.

The 5-item Modified Frailty Index is a simple and clinically useful tool for identifying older head and neck cancer patients at increased risk of adverse outcomes following major surgery.

The Risk Analysis Index is Superior to the Modified 5-Factor Frailty Index for Predicting 30-Day Mortality Following Arthroplasty for Femoral Neck Fractures.

BACKGROUND Femoral neck fractures (FNFs) are common in the elderly and are typically treated operatively. Tools like frailty assessments may be critical for evaluating peri- and postoperative patient needs. Our study evaluated the utility of frailty, measured by the Risk Analysis Index (RAI) and the Modified 5-Item Fra...

The prognostic value of the 5-factor modified frailty index in patients with proximal femur fractures followed up in the postoperative intensive care unit: a retrospective cohort study

The prognostic value of the 5-factor modified frailty index (mFI-5) in patients with proximal femur fractures who were monitored in the postoperative intensive care unit (ICU) and to evaluate its relationship with clinical outcomes was demonstrated.

Modified 5-Item Frailty Index Is Associated with Postoperative Delirium but Not Survival in Patients Undergoing Surgery for Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Because this retrospective study was limited by sample size, comorbidity-driven mFI-5 scoring, non-standardized delirium screening, and potential residual confounding, mFI-5 should be interpreted as a convenient screening marker rather than a stand-alone predictor.

The Predictive Value of The 9-Point Clinical Frailty Scale on Outcomes in Older Adults with Hip Fracture: A Systematic Review

Abstract Hip fracture is a major cause of morbidity, mortality, and functional decline among older adults. Frailty has emerged as an important prognostic factor in this population, and the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) offers a rapid and practical method for assessing frailty. This systematic review assessed the prognos...
