Why the study?
As the population ages, rising comorbidities increase perioperative mortality and morbidity, driving the need for emerging evidence to improve perioperative care and postoperative outcomes for high-risk patients.
Highlights the emerging evidence and need for optimized perioperative care in high-risk older patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery to improve postoperative outcomes.
May signal rising perioperative risks with aging; leaves open optimal strategies to improve outcomes in high-risk patients.
As the population is aging, an associated rise in comorbidities augment perioperative mortality and morbidity. Evidence is emerging to improve perioperative care for high-risk patients in view of better postoperative outcomes.
