Abstract

Frailty is prevalent and associated with adverse outcomes in cardiac surgery, however, there remains uncertainty about the ideal tool to measure it. The Essential Frailty Toolset (EFT) was previously developed in aortic valve replacement procedures and found to be more practical and predictive compared to other tools. The EFT has yet to be evaluated in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery, a challenging context that has acute presentations and time-sensitive needs for patient-centered decisions on revascularization.
