Frailty, Mortality, and Healthcare Utilization after Liver Transplantation: From the Multi-Center Functional Assessment in Liver Transplantation (FrAILT) Study.

Compared to non-frail patients, frail LT recipients had a higher risk of post-LT death and greater post-LT healthcare utilization, although overall post-LT survival was acceptable. These data lay the foundation to investigate whether targeting pre-LT frailty will improve post-LT outcomes and reduce resource utilization.
