This retrospective study evaluates the effectiveness of frailty assessment tools-specifically the Risk Analysis Index (RAI) and the 5-Item Modified Frailty Index (5-mFI)-in predicting postoperative outcomes for elderly patients undergoing lower limb orthopedic surgery. The study seeks to determine if these preoperative scores can accurately identify patients at higher risk for 90-day mortality and major complications.

Percentage of Participants With Major Postoperative Complications
The number of participants who experienced one or more major postoperative complications, defined as Clavien-Dindo Grade III or higher.
90 days post-surgery
Diagnostic Accuracy of the Risk Analysis Index (RAI)
The Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve used to determine the predictive performance of the RAI score for 90-day mortality.

Correlation of Surgical Apgar Score (SAS) with Recovery

Geriatric patients (aged 65+) identified as "frail" based on preoperative Risk Analysis Index (RAI) or 5-mFI scores.
Geriatric patients undergoing similar lower limb surgeries who are identified as "robust" or "non-frail" by the same assessment tools.
Data extraction of RAI and 5-mFI scores from medical records to correlate with 90-day postoperative outcomes.
Registry-reported names are shown in full. Names without a link have not yet been matched to a Syfrah profile.
The study population consists of geriatric patients aged 65 years and older who underwent major lower limb orthopedic surgeries (such as hip or knee arthroplasty or fracture fixation) at the participating orthopedic departments. The cohort includes individuals with varying degrees of preoperative physical reserve, categorized into frail, pre-frail, and non-frail groups using validated assessment tools. This population represents a high-risk surgical demographic characterized by multiple comorbidities and age-related physiological decline, requiring detailed perioperative data analysis.
