Hospital frailty risk score predicts worse outcomes in patients with chronic pancreatitis
Abstract Background: Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a pathological fibroinflammatory response to persistent inflammation or stress to the pancreas. The effect of frailty on outcomes in patients with CP has not been previously examined. In this study, we examined the effect of frailty on outcomes in hospitalized patients with CP. Methods: Records of patients with a primary or secondary discharge diagnosis of CP (ICD10-CM codes K86.0, K86.1) between January 2016 and December 2019 were obtained from the National Inpatient Sample database.
