Assessing preoperative frailty utilizing validated geriatric mortality calculators and their association with postoperative hip fracture mortality risk. As patients over 75 years old are presenting more commonly for surgery, frailty assessment may have considerable value as a tool for peri-operative assessment.

The RAI-C offers the additional advantage of assessing frailty-associated risk preoperatively and prospectively, thus presenting an opportunity for feasible, large-scale screening of surgical populations in clinical practice. Search To our knowledge, the RAI-C is the first frailty index used explicitly for systemwide screening of surgical populations, taking only 1 to 2 minutes to complete as part of the standard intake interview and now prospectively validated in cohort of 6856 patients.

The association was consistent across different frailty instruments and regardless of the type of surgery performed.Our findings are congruent with other reviews of frailty in surgical patients. There were 23 articles included in the final analysis.

Frailty assessment thus helps in the decision-making process. This is likely owing to the different methods of assessing frailty-associated risk. Demographic data, type of surgery performed, frailty measure and impact of frailty on adverse outcomes were extracted from the selected studies.
