Highlights |
• | Frailty is an important predictor of mortality in emergency general surgery (EGS). |
• | High frailty did not alter the preferred management strategy for any EGS disease. |
• | Whether operative or nonoperative management was favored varied by EGS condition. |
• | The older, frail patient may still benefit from operative management for EGS disease. |
• | A patient-centered approach is needed at the bedside for surgical decision-making. |
