Frailty is the loss of physical or mental reserve that impairs function, often in the absence of a defined comorbidity. Our aim was to determine whether a modified frailty index (mFI) correlates with morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing hysterectomy. ⋯ Frailty may be useful in the preoperative risk assessment of women undergoing gynaecological surgery.
