Modified frailty index (mFI): is it a predictor for early postoperative complications in arthroplasty surgery?

It has been demonstrated that the modified frailty index (mFI) is a powerful and effective tool in the prediction of perioperative risk in many surgical fields. In many previous studies, mFI has been found to be successful in prediction of perioperative adverse effects. The aim of this study was to determine whether the mFI can be a predictor for early postoperative complications in arthroplasty surgery.
