Prediction of surgical complications in the elderly: Can we improve outcomes?

Abstract: As the number of Americans aged 65 years and older continues to rise, there is projected to be a corresponding increase in demand for major surgeries within this population. Consequently, it is important to utilize accurate preoperative risk stratification techniques that are applicable to elderly individuals. Currently, commonly used preoperative risk assessments are subjective and often do not account for elderly-specific syndromes that may pose a hazard for geriatric patients if not addressed. Failure to ac… Show more

“…In order to deliver this aim, it is necessary to include a preoperative risk stratification using a frailty index, for example the ASA score, and cardiopulmonary exercise testing for patients undergoing intra-abdominal surgery, preoperative management of iron deficiency and anemia, and preoperative exercise intervention. Most studies come to the conclusion that further proof is needed of the utility and validity for improving surgical outcomes through advances in preoperative care 8,24 .…”

“…The elderly patients, especially those with poor functional capacity, are at an increased risk of postoperative pulmonary complications. 5 Previous studies reported preoperative functional capacity to influence postoperative pulmonary complications in patients who underwent lung resection surgery. 6,7 Functional capacity on the 6-minute walking test (6MWT) in patients who underwent lung resection was significantly associated with postoperative pulmonary complications.…”
