The 11-Item Modified Frailty Index as a Tool to Predict Unplanned Events in Traumatic Brain Injury

Abstract

Frailty measured by the mFI-11 is associated with greater rates of discharge to unfavorable locations and increased odds of acute kidney injury and unplanned events among patients with TBI. These findings suggest that frail patients with TBIs require greater vigilance to avoid such unanticipated outcomes.
