Abstract
- Objective Frailty is the loss of physical or mental reserve that impairs function, often in the absence of a defined comorbidity. Our aim was to determine whether a modified frailty index (mFI) correlates with morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing hysterectomy. Design Retrospective cohort study. Setting Hospitals across the USA participating in the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP). Sample Patients who underwent hysterectomy from 2008 to 2012. Methods An mFI was calculated using 11 variables in NSQIP. The associations between mFI and morbidity and mortality were assessed. Model fit statistics (c-statistics) were utilised to evaluate the ability of mFI to distinguish outcomes. Main outcome measure Wound infection, severe complications and mortality. Results A total of 66 105 patients were identified. Wound complications increased from 2.4% in patients with an mFI of zero to 4.8% in those with mFI ≥ 0.5 (P
