PREDICTING MORTALITY AND MORBIDITY OF GERIATRIC FEMORAL FRACTURES USING A MODIFIED FRAILTY INDEX AND PERIOPERATIVE FEATURES: A PROSPECTIVE, MULTICENTRE AND OBSERVATIONAL STUDY
Introduction: Femoral fracture is associated with high geriatric mortality. Frailty is the increased vulnerability to stressors resulting from aging-associated decreases in physiological reserve. We aimed to predict 30-365-day postoperative mortality and morbidity rates using modified frailty index and perioperative characteristics in geriatric femoral fractures.
