Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how a medical record-based frailty assessment affects clinical outcomes for patients with critical limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) who undergo revascularization procedures.
- Researchers analyzed data from over 64,000 patients and found that those with higher frailty scores had significantly increased risks of in-hospital mortality and major amputations six months post-surgery.
- The results suggest that the hospital frailty risk score can be a useful tool for predicting patient outcomes, though further research is needed to determine its role in clinical decision-making for these patients.
