Hospital frailty risk score predicts graft failure severe infection and mortality in hospitalized kidney transplant recipients from 2010 to 2018 US data.

ABSTRACT: Frailty is frequently assessed in elderly patients as an indicator of poor outcomes after hospitalization and surgery. Compared to age-matched nonfrail people, frail people need greater assistance with everyday activities and are more likely to suffer adverse events leading to mortality. Recently, the hospital frailty risk score (HFRS) was proposed for quantifying frailty. The number of older people with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is continuing to increase, and more data have shown that frailty could predict adverse outcomes in kidney transplantation (KT) patients. Moreover, the pre-kidney transplantation HFRS was strongly associated with surgical complications and other adverse and postoperative outcomes. However, it is yet unknown how frailty affects transplant failure prognosis, inp
