Key Points Question Can a more clinically feasible version of the modified Frailty Index for older patients with cancer be developed? Findings In this cohort study of 1137 older patients with cancer, the Memorial Sloan Kettering–Frailty Index (MSK-FI) was associated with aging-related impairments. A higher score on the MSK-FI was also associated with a longer length of stay, higher odds of intensive care unit admission, and lower overall survival. Meaning The MSK-FI may be a feasible tool to perioperatively assess frailty in older patients with cancer.
