Core Tip
Core Tip: This comprehensive meta-analysis elucidates the significant impact of frailty on outcomes in elderly patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The study underscores the consistent association between frailty and heightened risks of in-hospital mortality, all-cause mortality, major adverse cardiovascular events, and major bleeding. The convergence of results across diverse study designs, patient populations, and methodological approaches underscores the robustness of these findings. Recognizing frailty as a potent predictor allows for tailored care plans, emphasizing the need for standardized frailty assessment in the pre-PCI evaluation of elderly patients.
