Popis: Abstract Frailty in older patients is associated with poor postoperative outcomes. The use of uncomplicated frailty measurement tools is preferred in busy clinical settings. Therefore, we validated the frailty index using routine laboratory data and the surgical outcomes of older patients with cancer who underwent cancer resection. We retrospectively analyzed 9015 patients aged 65 years and older who underwent cancer resection at a single tertiary hospital. Based on electronic-medical-record data regarding preoperative blood test results and vital signs, Laboratory Frailty Index (FI-Lab) scores were generated to measure preoperative frailty. The associations of FI-Lab with postoperative length of stay (LOS), readmission within 30 days, intensive care unit (ICU) admission within 30 days, and mortality were evaluated. The mean FI-Lab score of the 9015 patients was 0.20 ± 0.10. Increased FI-Lab scores (0.25–0.4; > 0.4) were associated with longer LOS, increased readmission within 30 days of surgery, ICU admission, and increased mortality, compared with FI-Lab scores
