Frailty was assessed using the modified five-item Frailty Index (mFI-5). Inflammation was quantified by the red cell distribution width-to-albumin ratio (RAR), a novel inflammatory marker.

Preoperative anemia (HR = 0.98, P = 0.032), elevated creatinine levels (HR = 1.01, P = 0.013), and prolonged operation time (HR = 1.01, P = 0.029) were also independent predictors of mortality.
