In “Predicting Postoperative Outcomes in Brain Tumor Patients With a 5-Factor Modified Frailty Index,”¹ the authors describe the prognostic capabilities of a novel, streamlined frailty index (5-Factor Modified Frailty Index (mFI-5)) in 1692 brain tumor patients at a single institution. The purpose of the mFI-5 is to provide an easy, straightforward tool to estimate patient frailty based on 5 variables: hypertension, congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes, and functional status (totally dependent, partially dependent, and independent). It is importantly one of the first applications of a frailty index among brain tumor patients, and the authors find that a 1-point increase in the mFI-5 index is associated with higher complication rates, longer lengths of stay (+1.38 hospital days), and increased hospital charges ($5846).

评论：用5因子修正的脆弱指数预测脑肿瘤患者的术后结果。

在“预测具有5因子修正的脆弱指数的脑肿瘤患者的术后结果”中¹作者描述了一种新颖的，精简的脆弱指数（5-因子改良脆弱指数（mFI-5））在单一机构对1692名脑肿瘤患者的预后能力。mFI-5的目的是提供一个简单，直接的工具，可基于5个变量来评估患者的虚弱程度：高血压，充血性心力衰竭，慢性阻塞性肺疾病，糖尿病和功能状态（完全依赖，部分依赖和独立） 。重要的是，在脑肿瘤患者中首先应用虚弱指数，作者发现mFI-5指数增加1点与更高的并发症发生率，更长的住院时间（+1.38住院天数）相关。 ，并增加了医院收费（$ 5846）。
