Effect of Frailty on Outcome after Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury

Effect of Frailty on Outcome after Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury

Frailty negatively affects outcome in elective spine surgery populations. This study sought to determine the effect of frailty on patient outcome after traumatic spinal cord injury (tSCI). Patients with tSCI were identified from our prospectively collected database from 2004 to 2016. We examined eff...

Zusammenfassung:Frailty negatively affects outcome in elective spine surgery populations. This study sought to determine the effect of frailty on patient outcome after traumatic spinal cord injury (tSCI). Patients with tSCI were identified from our prospectively collected database from 2004 to 2016. We examined effect of patient age, admission Total Motor Score (TMS), and Modified Frailty Index (mFI) on adverse events (AEs), acute length of stay (LOS), in-hospital mortality, and discharge destination (home vs. other). Subgroup analysis (for three age groups:
