Frailty index comparison in predicting postoperative outcomes in hepatic cystic echinococcosis: a nested case-control study
Abstract
ABSTRACT Background Postoperative complications (POC) following surgery for hepatic cystic echinococcosis (HCE) remains a persistent clinical challenge. The utility of frailty indices (FIs) as predictors of POC in this context has not been investigated. This study aimed to assess predictive value of three FIs—mFI-11, FRAIL, and PRISMA-7—for POC in patients undergoing surgery for HCE. Methodology/Principal findings Nested case–control study. Patients who underwent elective surgery for HCE (2012-2020), matched in a 1:1 case-to-control ratio were included. Cases were defined as patients with mFI-11 score ≥0.27, PRISMA-7 ≥3, or FRAIL ≥3; controls were those with mFI-11
