3 As primary and revision arthroplasty volumes continue to rise, it is essential that surgeons
are 4 able to stratify patients based upon their comorbidity burdens. The use of a …

Introduction This study aimed to develop a modified frailty index (MFI) to predict the risks of
revision total hip arthroplasty (THA). Methods Data from the American College of Surgeons …

Background Frailty is described as decreased physiological reserve and typically increasing
with age. Hospitals are being penalized for reoperations and readmissions, which can affect …

Background The purpose of this study is to evaluate the 5-factor modified frailty index (mFI-
5) as a predictor of postoperative complications, readmission, and mortality in patients …

Background Frailty and increasing age are well-established risk factors in patients
undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, these variables have only been …

Background Frailty has been associated with poor outcomes and higher costs after primary
total hip arthroplasty. However, frailty has not been studied in relation to outcomes after …

Background Frailty and disability from arthritis are closely intertwined and little is known
about the impact of frailty on total hip arthroplasty (THA) outcomes. We hypothesized that …

Aims The aims were to assess whether preoperative joint-specific function (JSF) and health-
related quality of life (HRQoL) were associated with level of clinical frailty in patients waiting …

Background The modified frailty index (mFI) has been shown to predict adverse outcomes in
multiple nonorthopedic surgical specialties. This study aimed to assess whether mFI is a …

Methods: Discharge data from the National Inpatient Sample were used to identify all
patients aged 50 years or older who underwent TJA between 2006 and 2015. Nonelective …
