Brief Summary

Frailty assessment tools and comorbidity indices play a crucial role, particularly in predicting outcomes for elderly patients undergoing emergency surgery. The Emergency Surgery Frailty Index (EmSFI), Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), and the Flemish version of the Triage Risk Screening Tool (fTRST) are considered valuable tools that help understand patients perioperative risk profiles. This study aims to investigate the accuracy and clinical utility of these scoring systems in predicting mortality in individuals aged 65 and older undergoing emergency surgery
