Association between preoperative oral frailty and postoperative infectious complications in patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery: a retrospective analysis using the oral frailty index-8.

OFI-8 is a simple outpatient screening tool for identifying patients at high risk of infectious complications following colorectal cancer surgery and targeted OFI-8-guided perioperative risk interventions may improve the outcomes and reduce the healthcare burden.

Modified 5-Item Frailty Index Is Associated with Postoperative Delirium but Not Survival in Patients Undergoing Surgery for Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Because this retrospective study was limited by sample size, comorbidity-driven mFI-5 scoring, non-standardized delirium screening, and potential residual confounding, mFI-5 should be interpreted as a convenient screening marker rather than a stand-alone predictor.
