Comparison of Age and Modified Frailty Index-5 as Predictors of In-Hospital Mortality in Complete Traumatic Cervical Spinal Cord Injury Open
Frailty, as measured by the modified frailty index-5 (mFI-5), and older age are associated with increased mortality in the setting of spinal cord injury (SCI). However, a comparison of the predictive power of each measure has not been comp…
