Abstract
- This article, published in the Journal of Neurological Surgery, examines the impact of frailty on surgical outcomes in patients with Cushing's disease (CD). The study analyzed data from the Registry of Adenomas of the Pituitary and Related Disorders (RAPID) and found that mild frailty independently predicted outcomes after transsphenoidal surgery for CD. Mildly frail patients had longer hospital stays and were more likely to be discharged to skilled nursing facilities. The study suggests that assessing frailty could be useful for preoperative risk stratification and prognostication in CD patients. [Extracted from the article]
