Description
Eran Leshem and co-authors study how frailty affects patients who have a heart procedure to fix atrial fibrillation, a faulty heart rhythm. The procedure burns small spots inside the heart to block stray signals. Frail patients face higher risk around such work, but past studies mixed risks together or looked far ahead.
Records for about forty-three thousand hospital stays were split by a frailty score into low, middle, and high groups. Death in hospital hit about six in a hundred in the high group, against one in a hundred in the low group. Stroke, lung failure, and blood infection were also far more common. The authors urge scoring frailty before the procedure.
