Summary

Increasing age is a known predictor of morbidity and mortality after a traumatic injury with worst outcomes seen in patients with age greater than 65 years. Geriatric trauma patients are a unique cohort of patients who are highly prone to develop decompensated state following the stress of traumatic event leading to adverse outcomes. In a prospective study the primary site demonstrated the presence of frailty syndrome as a better predictor of in-hospital complications and adverse discharge disposition among geriatric trauma patients than age. Presently, Methodist Dallas Medical Center aims to participate in the large scale prospective multi-institutional validation of TSFI to assess the sensitivity and specificity of Trauma Specific Frailty Index in predicting adverse outcomes through a diverse account utilizing multiple facilities.
