Key result
A preoperative fTRST score of ≥2 was strongly associated with 90-day mortality in older adults undergoing emergency abdominal surgery (OR 18.50; 95% CI 2.39-143.11; P=0.005).

Does a fTRST score ≥ 2 predict adverse outcomes in adults aged 70 and older undergoing emergency abdominal surgery?

The fTRST is an effective screening tool to predict mortality, morbidity, and length of stay in older adults after emergency abdominal surgery.
Zattoni et al. (2018) conducted an observational in Urgent need for abdominal surgery (n=110). fTRST score ≥2 vs. fTRST score <2 was evaluated on Overall 90-day mortality (OR 18.50, 95% CI 2.39-143.11, p=0.005). A preoperative fTRST score of ≥2 was strongly associated with 90-day mortality in older adults undergoing emergency abdominal surgery (OR 18.50; 95% CI 2.39-143.11; P=0.005).
