Association of frailty with healthcare resource utilization after open thoracic/thoracolumbar posterior spinal fusion for adult spinal deformity

The Hospital Frailty Risk Score (HFRS) is a frailty-identifying metric developed using ICD-10-CM codes. While other studies have examined frailty in adult spinal deformity (ASD), the HFRS has not been assessed in this population. The aim of this study was to utilize the HFRS to investigate the impac...

Description
Summary:The Hospital Frailty Risk Score (HFRS) is a frailty-identifying metric developed using ICD-10-CM codes. While other studies have examined frailty in adult spinal deformity (ASD), the HFRS has not been assessed in this population. The aim of this study was to utilize the HFRS to investigate the impact of frailty on outcomes in ASD patients undergoing posterior spinal fusion (PSF). A retrospective study was performed using the 2016-2019 National Inpatient Sample database. Adults with ASD undergoing elective PSF were identified using ICD-10-CM codes. Patients were categorized into HFRS-based frailty cohorts: Low (HFRS
