This prospective observational study aims to evaluate the predictive value of the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS), the Katz Activities of Daily Living (ADL) scale, and admission laboratory markers for postoperative mortality among geriatric patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) after surgery. Frailty assessment and functional status are increasingly recognized as determinants of outcomes in older adults, yet their combined predictive power with routine laboratory parameters at ICU admission remains unclear. By systematically collecting clinical scores and laboratory data at the time of ICU admission, this study seeks to identify early predictors of mortality and support risk-stratification in geriatric postoperative patients.
