Design: Prospective observational study.
Article Synopsis
- * Conducted at a university hospital, the research included patients aged 75 and older, with the EFS administered prior to surgery to assess frailty.
- * Results showed that integrating the EFS with the EuroSCORE II significantly improved mortality prediction (p = 0.04) and was linked to longer ICU stays and higher rates of discharge to healthcare facilities.
