Abstract
PURPOSE: To develop a simplified, modified frailty index for adult spinal deformity (ASD) patients dependent on objective clinical factors.
METHODS: ASD patients with baseline (BL) and 2-year (2Y) follow-up were included. Factors with the largest R
RESULTS: Five hundred thirty-one ASD patients (59.5 yrs, 79.5% F) were included. The final model had a R
CONCLUSIONS: Utilizing an existing ASD frailty index, we proposed a modified version eliminating the patient-reported components. This index is a true assessment of physiologic status, and represents a superior risk factor assessment compared to other tools for both primary and revision spinal deformity surgery as a result of its immutability with surgery, lack of subjectivity, and ease of use.
