Results: The search performed in April 2023 yielded 5804 studies, of which seven remained after applying the inclusion/exclusion criteria. There was an association between frailty and postoperative mortality in the older adults, p p Conclusion: An association was verified between frailty and in-hospital death, signaling frailty as a prognosis for negative outcomes.
