5-year outcomes of surgical intervention in patients with adult spine deformity according to preoperative 5-item modified frailty index scores
Spine Deformity(2024)
摘要
Purpose Frailty increases vulnerability to dependency and/or death, and is important in predicting the risk for adverse effects following adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery. For easy determination of frailty, the 5-item modified frailty index (mFI-5) was established. However, there are few reports that show the relationship between frailty and mid-term operative outcomes after ASD surgery. The objective of this retrospective study is to determine the correlation of frailty using mFi-5 scores with postoperative medical complications, patient reported outcome measures (PROMs), and radiographic alignment 5 years after ASD surgery. Methods 208 patients were divided into robust (R), pre-frail (PF), and frail (F) groups based on mFI-5 scores. Postoperative medical complications, preoperative and 5-year follow-up PROMs and radiographic alignment were evaluated. Results The study included 91, 79, and 38 patients in group R, PF, and F, respectively. There was no significant difference in age and sex. Discharge to care facility (16 (18%):21 (27%):16 (42%), p = 0.014) and postoperative cardiac complications (2 (2%):0 (0%):3 (8%), p = 0.031) were higher in frail patients. Preoperative ODI (38.3:45.3:54.7, p < 0.001) and SRS-22 (2.7:2.5:2.3, p = 0.004), 5-year postoperative ODI (27:27.2:37.9, p = 0.015), 5-year postoperative SVA (57.8°:78.5°:86.4°, p = 0.039) and 5-year postoperative TPA (23.9°:29.4°:29.5°, p = 0.011) were significantly worse in group F compared to group R. Conclusion Postoperatively, frail patients are more likely to have cardiac complications, inferior PROMs and deterioration of post-correction global spinal alignment. Preoperative assessment using mFI-5 is beneficial to individualize risks, optimize patients, and manage postoperative expectations. Level of evidence 3.
