Woldu SL, et al. - In this retrospective review of all patients who underwent radical cystectomy (RC) for bladder cancer from 2012 to 2016, researchers investigated the validity of using modified Frailty Index (mFI) as a risk-stratification tool for RC. This analysis included 346 patients. Findings revealed no significant differences in the rate of major complications when stratifying the results according to the mFI, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), or American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class. mFI was noted to be correlated with length of hospitalization and associated costs. Frailty was thus suggested to have no influence of on postoperative complications and provide little additional predictive ability over the ASA classification and the CCI score.
