Impact of frailty on outcomes following coronary artery bypass grafting: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remains the preferred treatment for complex multi-vessel coronary artery disease, offering substantial long-term benefits. Non-cardiac comorbidities such as frailty may significantly affect the outcomes of this procedure. However, the exact impact of frailty on CABG outcomes remains unclear, particularly given its exclusion from many pivotal revascularization trials. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to consolidate existing data to evaluate the impact of frailty on short- and long-term outcomes following CABG.

Methods

Searches across PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Scopus were done to identify studies that were published up to March 31, 2024, had detailed preoperative frailty assessments and compared frail
