Article Synopsis
- The Norton score is a scale used to assess frailty, which is linked to complications and mortality in hospitalized patients, especially those undergoing aortic valve replacement (AVR).
- In a study of 1,469 patients who underwent AVR between 2004 and 2020, it was found that patients with a low Norton score (<18) had significantly higher in-hospital mortality rates compared to those with a high score (≥18).
- The Norton score effectively predicted both short-term (1-year) and long-term (10-year) mortality, suggesting it should be used as a key risk assessment tool for patients undergoing AVR.
