Why the study?
Does the occurrence of nonfatal in-hospital postoperative complications reduce long-term quality of life and functional status in elderly patients undergoing noncardiac surgery?
Does the occurrence of nonfatal in-hospital postoperative complications reduce long-term quality of life and functional status in elderly patients undergoing noncardiac surgery?
In geriatric patients undergoing noncardiac surgery, long-term quality of life is independently predicted by comorbidities and new hospitalizations rather than the occurrence of postoperative complications.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
In-hospital complications may not impair long-term QoL after elderly noncardiac surgery; hypothesis-generating for comorbidity-focused interventions.
Manku et al. (2003) studied this question.
