There are differences between the subgroups for the given adverse outcome (noted with an *). 30-day mortality and Clavien Dindo IV complications were significantly associated with increasing frailty index score for all surgeries. Readmission was significant with increasing frailty index score for all surgeries except radical cystectomy (p=0.264) and nephroureterectomy (p=0.108). Re-operation was significant with increasing frailty index score for all except radical cystectomy (p=0.116).
