Preoperative frailty based on laboratory data and postoperative health outcomes in patient Highlights + High frailty Tevels are associated with adverse health outcomes after CABG surgery: + Frail patients are thigh risk of postoperative readmission and extended hospital stays + Lab-based frailty could capture a need for thorough frailty assessments for CAG patients Abstract Background Fraityis associated with adverse surgial ontoomes.

Patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVs) have risk factors of frailty suchas deereased physical activity and diabetes ® 19 addition, common pathological (ovDs © and 50% among older patients undergoing elective surgery, ” Hence, preoperative frailty evaluation is important for prediction of their isk of comp] various approaches curently used, °° The chee ofa rally assessment tool depends on the availabilty of information, the reason forthe assessment, the Previous studies onthe effet frailty onthe health outcomes of patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery have used varying fal assssment tools.

"¥ Moreover, it would be routine clinical data-based frailty assessments have been suggested as pragmatic approsch for screening fail patients in ate settings. 7 Among, Preoperative frailty assessment for cardiac surgery patients shouldbe quik, simple, highly accurate, and generalizable to these patents. ‘within 30 days in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. “Therefore, this tu Methods Study design and patients ‘This retrospective study was approved by the institutional review board of XX University Health System (seference no. ¥-2020-0100). The investigation conto the analysis. ‘The participants were paients aged >19 years who undeswent CABG surgery between August 1, 2015 and July 81,2020 ata tertiary hospital.

The frailty index was a continuous score ranging from Oto 1 and calculated by the laboratory results before the surgery and the frst measured vital signs at hospitalization for surgery. Thus, the frailty level vas messured using data obtained | we excuded these two variables from the analysis. We required atleast 70% of items (28 out of 32 items) to measure a valid fay index consistent with previ FFI-LAR determines the level of fraity as «continuum between robust and fal. Therefore, it was hard to divide our population into fal patients or non-trailp moderate frailty group, FI-LAB 20.25 to <0.4; and high frailty group, FI-LAB >0.4 Other variables (ther variables included the patent's age sex, body mass index (BMD, history of smoking or aleubol consumption, numberof carent meiatons left vent living based on the Koresn version of Maiti Harthel Index (MBI), which reflects patents’ fonctional capacity,” and the Acute Physiology and Chronic Het {sa comorbidity index weighted by the relative risk of 1-year mortality to reflect both the number and severity of comorbid diseases, ® was calculated using Statistical analysis ‘he patient characterises were described as either a peeentage ofthe total sample or asthe mean + standard deviation.
