Summary

Frailty is a clinical condition associated with aging that is characterized by a decline in physiological capacity involving multiple organ systems. Previous research has established a strong correlation between frailty and increased mortality and morbidity risk after surgery. The 5-item modified frailty index (mFI-5) is a recent tool used to assess frailty. The aim of the present study was to use the mFI-5 to identify frailty and its association with postoperative adverse outcomes, including mortality and morbidity, among patients who underwent urologic procedures.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

The 5-item modified frailty index

The mFI-5 contains five items, including hypertension, diabetes, congestive heart failure (CHF), chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD), and physical function status, with each item attributing 1 point. Patients with an mFI-5 score greater than or equal to 2 were considered frail, while those with an mFI-5 score of 0 or 1 were considered nonfrail.
