Demographic, treatment, survival, and postoperative outcomes data were recorded. Frailty was calculated using validated indexes, including the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification, the modified 5\u2010item frailty index (mFI\u20105), and the Charlson comorbidity index (CCI). Primary outcomes included 30\u2010day medical and surgical complications.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 88 patients were included, with 59 (67%) female patients and a mean age of 54\u2009\u00b1\u200915 years. The most common pathologies included 53 meningiomas (60.2%) and 21 craniopharyngiomas (23.9%). Most patients were ASA class 3 (54.5%) with mean mFI\u20105 0.82\u2009\u00b1\u20091.01 and CCI 4.18\u2009\u00b1\u20092.42.

Higher mFI\u20105 was associated with an increased risk for 30\u2010day readmission (odds ratio: 2.35, 95% confidence Interval: 1.10\u20105.64, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.04).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Despite the patient population being notably frail, we only identified an increased risk for 30\u2010day readmission and observed no links with deteriorating surgical, medical, or mortality outcomes.
