Mortality after Heart Transplantation and Fragility

Abstract

Angela Koutsokera*

Frailty, a state of susceptibility and deterioration in function across several physiological bodily systems, is becoming recognised as a useful criterion to help clinicians forecast the likelihood of unfavourable outcomes in adult transplant candidates. The International Society for Heart Lung Transplantation proposes frailty testing in its listing criteria for heart transplantation from 2016. We set out to compile information on the value of frailty assessment in heart transplant candidates or recipients that has been published in the literature.
