TL;DR
Frailty had the highest feature importance and the second-highest Shapley value and the CFS is an effective prognostication tool for older adults undergoing endovascular thrombectomy.
Frailty, as assessed by FI-Lab, independently predicted hospital readmission and mortality after PCI in patients with ACS, suggesting automated, laboratory-based frailty screening is feasible in acute settings and supports its integration into cardiovascular nursing for early risk stratification and personalised care.

BACKGROUND
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is the standard treatment for older adults with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis. While cardiovascular predictors of long-term mortality after TAVR are well established, the impact of geriatric factors beyond short-term outcomes remains poorly defined. The main...

The use of thiazide diuretics was identified as an independent predictor associated with lower frailty probability and an online calculator was developed as a proof-of-concept tool to demonstrate the potential application of the predictive model and facilitate real-time risk estimation.
This study is the first to integrate frailty and nutritional risk into an SAP prediction model, significantly improving early risk identification and providing an innovative, practical tool for precision prevention and targeted intervention in critically ill stroke patients.
