The Utility of the 5 Factor Modified Frailty Index in Outcome Prediction for Patients with Chronic Subdural Hematoma Treated with Surgical Drainage.

Objective: Increasing frailty is a significant determinant of perioperative morbidity and mortality within neurosurgical literature. This study investigates the predictive value of the modified frailty index 5 (mFI-5) for postoperative morbidity and mortality following surgical drainage of chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH).

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed on patients who underwent surgical evacuation of a cSDH.
