Simplified Frailty Index as a Predictor of Adverse Outcomes in Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty

摘要

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 predictor of adverse events in patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
