Frailty check before surgery could save lives
NCT ID NCT07422025
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether two frailty assessment tools can predict serious complications or death within 90 days after lower limb surgery in patients 65 and older. Researchers reviewed medical records of 149 people to see how well these scores work. The goal is to help doctors identify high-risk patients and improve surgical planning.

Who is studied
The study population consists of geriatric patients aged 65 years and older who underwent major lower limb orthopedic surgeries (such as hip or knee arthroplasty or fracture fixation) at the participating orthopedic departments. The cohort includes individuals with varying degrees of preoperative physical reserve, categorized into frail, pre-frail, and non-frail groups using validated assessment tools. This population represents a high-risk surgical demographic characterized by multiple comorbidities and age-related physiological decline, requiring detailed perioperative data analysis.
