Key result
Tailoring perioperative management to frailty and cognitive function improves surgical outcomes in elderly patients.
Why the study?
As surgeries in the growing elderly population increase, surgical success must be evaluated beyond procedure completion to include postoperative functional capacity, cognitive function, and quality of life, especially regarding preoperative cognitive impairment and frailty.
Highlights the critical need for multidisciplinary perioperative management, including prehabilitation, to address frailty and cognitive impairment in the growing elderly surgical population.
Highlights need for frailty- and cognition-focused perioperative care in Japan's rapidly aging surgical population; leaves optimal strategies open for prospective study.

Junji Egawa (2025) conducted a review in Perioperative care in elderly patients. Perioperative management (Prehabilitation) was evaluated. Appropriate perioperative management based on an individual's physiological functions, including frailty and cognitive function, is essential for improving surgical outcomes in elderly patients.
