Abstract

Traditionally cardiac surgery risk scores have worse performance in elderly patients. Frailty evaluation may improve EuroSCORE II accuracy in predicting morbimortality

Highlights

Background/Introduction Traditionally cardiac surgery risk scores have worse performance in elderly patients
Frailty evaluation may improve EuroSCORE II accuracy in predicting morbimortality end point after adjusting for the EuroSCORE II and increased EuroSCORE II accuracy from 67% to 71.9% in prediction of morbimortality
Aims/Objectives Test the value of gait speed, a clinical marker for frailty, to improve the prediction of mortality and major morbidity in elderly patients undergoing cardiac surgery
