Self‐Reported Outcomes in Individuals Aged 65 and Older Admitted for Treatment to an Acute Care Surgical Service: A 6‐Month Prospective Cohort Study

Abstract: There was significant cognitive improvement in older adults after surgical hospitalization. HRQL improved back to age-matched population norms. These results suggest that elderly adults admitted for emergency surgery have good cognitive, functional, and HRQL outcomes.

“…With bladder cancer ranges among all cancers with the highest median age at diagnosis and as demographic changes will lead to an ever more aging population in western countries, incidence of advanced age malignancies will rise [1, 8, 9, 18]. Incidence of bladder cancer increases with age and is 11-fold higher in patients ≥65 versus <65 years, while UCB mortality is reported to be even 16-fold higher in the elderly population [18, 19].…”

“…During the last century, life expectancy in western civilization has increased. By 2040, 1 in 4 Americans will be over the age of 65, most likely leading to a higher incidence of bladder cancer diagnosis at an advanced age [8, 9]. Regarding the data, urologists are often faced with the difficult decision of performing complex surgery in elderly patients.…”

“…Second, despite the recent hospitalisation, older patients with cardiovascular disease still improved in vulnerability to a degree that was lower (ie, better) than their prehospitalisation baseline. In natural conditions without interventions, community-dwelling older adults are more likely to increase (rather than decrease) in their functional decline 39. As such, the high prevalence of baseline vulnerability among HHC-referred patients (67%) indicates that their natural trajectory of postdischarge vulnerability change would be more likely to be worsening than improving, if no interventions had been provided.…”

“…The ability to perform activities of daily living was assessed using the Barthel Index (BI), which is a valid and reliable tool. The maximum score is 100 and the higher scores represent greater independence ( Ali et al, 2015 ). The COP-based parameters, BBS, FES-I, and BI were tested by a therapist initially and after 3 months of balance training.…”
