Implication

Prospective observational study evaluates incidence of perioperative complications in elderly patients, suggesting key risk factors.

Key Points

  • The incidence of perioperative complications in elderly patients undergoing intracranial surgery is significant, particularly in those with comorbidities.
  • Statistical analysis identified that 49.3% of patients faced electrolyte abnormalities postoperatively, highlighting the need for careful monitoring.
  • A prospective observational approach was used on 150 elderly patients who underwent either elective or emergency intracranial surgery.
  • Identifying predictors like poor Glasgow coma scale and hemodynamic instability may improve management and outcomes for this high-risk group.
