Abstract

Frailty is a key predictor of postoperative outcomes in older adults. The Modified 5-Factor Frailty Index (mFI-5) is a tool to assess frailty and predict complications. This study investigates the mFI-5's ability to predict postoperative delirium in geriatric patients undergoing colectomy.
