Risk Analysis Index Outperforms the Modified Frailty Index in Predicting Outcomes in Thyroidectomy and Parathyroidectomy

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective In an aging population, patients undergoing thyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy are at an increased risk of adverse outcomes; thus, measuring patient frailty is a key metric to assess risk. This study innovatively compares the utility of the Risk Analysis Index (RAI) with the 5‐factor Modified Frailty Index (mFI‐5) in predicting ...
