Abstract
The use of a combined frailty and cognitive assessment score has a more powerful potential to predict adult patients at higher risk of overall survival than either measurement alone. The addition of cognitive assessment to physical frailty measure can lead to improved preoperative decision making and possibly early intervention, as well as more accurate patient counseling.
