Obesity Attenuates the Association Between the Modified Five-Item Frailty Score and Mortality in...

Obesity is an independent predictor of mortality in septic surgical patients, likely associated with underlying physiologic frailty, measured by the modified 5-item frailty index (mFI-5). This study...

• Among nonobese patients, frailty was associated with higher 90-day mortality: 36.4% vs. 17.4% in prefrail patients (p<0.005). • Among obese patients, mortality was similar regardless of frailty status (~34–35%).

💡 Obesity appeared to attenuate the frailty–mortality association, suggesting a need for more discriminatory frailty tools in obese patients. #Sepsis #Frailty #Obesity #SurgicalResearch #CriticalCare

New in @JSurgRes: Medicaid expansion linked to 7.5% lower mortality in renal cell carcinoma (284,967 patients, NCDB). Biggest gains for Hispanic patients — but no significant improvement for Black patients. Coverage saves lives; equity needs more. 📄 doi.org/10.1016/j.jss.2026.0…

Both models achieved similar discrimination (AUC ≈0.74). Random forest better identified high-cost admissions (sensitivity 78.6%), while logistic regression better identified non-high-cost admissions (specificity 82.3%).

📈 Random forest provided greater net benefit at risk thresholds of 5–25%, suggesting potential value for early resource planning. 🏥 These models could help teams anticipate resource needs and coordinate care earlier. #BurnCare #BurnSurgery #MachineLearning

Publish in the @JSurgRes! We conducted a secondary analysis using Peru’s 2023 hospitalization database from the Superintendencia Nacional de Salud (SUSALUD). Our analysis found that hospitalizations due to intestinal volvulus were more frequent in high-altitude regions, with a significant positive correlation between altitude and hospitalization rates. Excited to contribute to the growing understanding of the epidemiology of intestinal volvulus in Peru.
