Assessing the Predictive Value of the 5-Factor Modified Frailty Index for Wound-Healing Complications in Reduction Mammoplasty

MedXY Editorial Team•Oct 2, 2026•news
Modified Frailty Indexwound healing

Highlight

  • Reduction mammoplasty carries a 26% risk of wound-healing complications within 30 days postoperatively.
  • The 5-factor modified frailty index (mFI-5) showed limited predictive value for wound-healing complications after breast reduction surgery.
  • Advanced patient age, particularly over 51 years, independently predicted increased wound-healing complications.
  • Age remains a critical factor for patient counseling and surgical risk stratification beyond conventional frailty metrics.
