FI-Lab predicts all-cause mortality, but not successful rehabilitation, among patients aged 65 and older after hip or pelvic fracture.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Over the past decade, the Frailty Index based on Laboratory data (FI-Lab index) has been effective in predicting complications during hospitalization, length of hospital stay, changes in functional status, and even mortality. The aims of the present study were to examine the associations between FI-Lab, rehabilitation outcomes, and mortality following hip and pelvic fractures.

Methods

A retrospective study of patients 65 years of age and above who underwent rehabilitation after hip or pelvic fracture in the Geriatric Department, between January 2018 and December 2024. Data included demographic variables, comorbidity, and all-cause mortality. The FI-Lab was calculated based on 26 available blood tests, as well as blood pressure and heart rate measurements.
