Hospital Frailty Risk Score Predicts Adverse Events and Readmission Following a Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Surgery for Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus

The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of a Hospital Frailty Risk Score (HFRS) on unplanned readmission and health care resource utilization in normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) patients undergoing a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt surgery.

Zusammenfassung:	The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of a Hospital Frailty Risk Score (HFRS) on unplanned readmission and health care resource utilization in normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) patients undergoing a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt surgery. A retrospective cohort study was performed using the 2016–2019 Nationwide Readmission Database. All NPH patients (≥60 years) undergoing a VP shunt surgery were identified using ICD-10-CM diagnostic and procedural codes. Patients were dichotomized into 2 cohorts as follows: Low HFRS (
