Figure 2. Observed 30-Day Postoperative Outcomes by Frailty Component Burden.

Figure 2.

No patients in this cohort experienced more than 9 frailty components (10 and 11 not pictured). Observed rates of 30-day postoperative outcomes, including unplanned readmission, emergency department (ED) use, any predischarge or postdischarge complication, and postdischarge mortality, increase as frailty components accumulate. The Modified Frailty Index and its components are explained in the Variables subsection of the Methods section.
