Abstract
Frailty, assessed by functional status, can predict short-term mortality in elderly patients after vascular surgery; while central muscle mass may help determine long-term survival in abdominal aortic repair. As frailty is associated with both worse short and long-term outcomes, frailty assessment may be considered in patients scheduled for vascular surgery.
