New Five-Factor Modified Frailty Index Predicts Morbidity and Mortality in Geriatric Hip Fractures.
Although the 11-factor modified frailty index (mFI-11) has been shown to predict adverse outcomes in elderly patients undergoing surgery for hip fractures, the newer 5-factor index has not been evaluated in this population. The goal of this study is to evaluate the mFI-5 as a predictor of morbidity and mortality in elderly patients undergoing surgical management for hip fractures. ⋯ Prognostic Level III.
