“…In brain tumor cases, Harland et al . reported that frailty increases the risk of postoperative complications (odds ratio 2.09, 95% confidence interval 1.09–3.98) and a longer duration of hospital stay (odds ratio 1.66, 95% confidence interval 1.24–2.21) 13 . Parikh et al .…”

“…Elderly patients have a higher risk of postoperative complications and a higher mortality rate compared with other age groups 19 . Frailty has been linked to an increased risk of poor outcomes in several diseases 11–14 . However, the efficacy of frailty assessment in GI diseases has been rarely studied.…”

“…Harland et al . noted that surgeons need a standardized, validated preoperative risk assessment tool to aid in preoperative decision‐making 13 . We consider that frailty assessment might be an objective index of surgical indication and a predictor of postoperative complications.…”

“…The relationship between frailty and the outbreak of various diseases, such as orthopedic, cardiovascular, brain and urinary diseases, have been extensively reported 11–14 . However, the impact of the preoperative assessment of frailty in gastrointestinal (GI) disease remains insufficiently evaluated.…”

Aim The role of preoperative frailty assessment in patients with gastrointestinal (GI) disease remains unclear. This study aimed to clarify the relationship between frailty and postoperative outcomes in patients with GI disease. Methods This study investigated 42 patients (aged ≥65 years) with GI disease who underwent abdominal surgery. The frailty status was analyzed using the Japanese version of the Cardiovascular Health Study criteria. We also investigated postoperative outcomes. Results Of the 42 patients, seven (16.7%) were robust, 24 (57.1%) were prefrail and 11 (26.2%) were frail. Postoperative complications were observed in 45.5% and 63.6% of prefrail and frail patients, respectively, whereas no complications were found in robust patients (P = 0.026). The median hospital stay was 15, 19.5 and 27 days in robust, prefrail and frail patients, respectively (P < 0.01). Conclusion Preoperative frailty status based on the Japanese version of the Cardiovascular Health Study criteria is associated with postoperative complication incidence and hospital stay extension in patients with GI disease.

“…Frailty has been shown to be associated with multiple complications after surgery. 6,7 This study investigated the association between frailty and outcomes after elective craniotomy for the resection of brain tumors. 5 Frailty assessment was based on a 5-factor modified frailty index (mFI-5) and classified as nonfrail (mFI-5 = 0), low frailty (mFI = 0.2), or medium to high frailty (mFI > 0.2).…”

This review is a synopsis of selected articles from neuroscience, neuroanesthesia, and neurocritical care from the year 2020 (January–December 2020). The journals reviewed include anesthesia journals, critical care medicine journals, neurology and neurosurgical journals, as well as high-impact medical journals such as the Lancet, Journal of American Medical Association, New England Journal of Medicine, and Stroke. This summary of important articles will serve to update the knowledge of anesthesiologists and other perioperative physicians who provide care to neurosurgical and neurocritical care patients. In addition, some of the important narrative reviews that are of interest to neuroanesthesiologists are also listed.
