Supports frailty assessment for preoperative risk stratification in colorectal cancer surgery; reinforces predictive value across studies.
Frailty is a predictor of poor clinical outcomes in patients undergoing surgery for colorectal cancer. Standardisation of frailty assessment and outcome measure is needed. Accurate risk stratification of patients will allow us to make informed treatment decisions, identify patients who may benefit from preoperative intervention and tailor post-operative care.
