MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641062350 A) filed by Adichunchanagiri University; and Adichunchanagiri Institute Of Medical Sciences, Mandya, Karnataka, on May 16, for 'prospective study correlating preoperative new factor 5 frailty index with post operative 30-day mortality and complications in elderly hip fracture.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Halleyantony; and Dr. K. Harish.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention proposes a novel predictive frailty assessment system and method, termed the Enhanced mFI-5 Frailty Prognosis Platform, designed to accurately forecast 30-day mortality, postoperative complications, readmission rates, and hospital stay duration in elderly patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. By integrating a streamlined five-factor modified frailty index with preoperative clinical data collection and statistical validation tools, the system enables precise risk stratification, improved surgical planning, and better resource allocation in geriatric orthopedic care. This approach demonstrates superior predictive accuracy, with an AUC of 0.850 for 30-day mortality and significant risk multipliers for frail patients, offering a practical, efficient tool that outperforms traditional age-based assessments while maintaining simplicity for real-world clinical deployment."
