Frailty, defined as a state of decreased physiologic reserve, has been correlated with poorer outcomes after hospitalization or surgery. Studies in lung transplant patients have associated frailty with an increased risk of post-transplant mortality; however, a unified approach is lacking. The identification of frail patients can help clinicians pre-emptively target modifiable risk factors and may facilitate risk stratification.

Infection, trauma, and chemical exposure of the ocular surface can severely damage the cornea, resulting in visually significant stromal scars. Current medical treatments are ineffective in mitigating corneal scarring, and corneal transplantation is the only therapy able to restore vision in these eyes. However, because of a severe shortage of corneal tissues, risks of blinding complications associated with corneal transplants, and a higher rate of graft failure in these eyes, an effective and deliverable alternative therapy for the prevention and treatment of corneal scarring remains a significant unmet medical need globally.
