Objective preoperative risk stratification incorporating frailty and cognitive ability is crucial for predicting and potentially improving surgical outcomes in the growing elderly population.
Mistry et al. (2016) conducted a review in Surgical complications in the elderly. Objective preoperative risk stratification (frailty, functional status, cognitive ability) was evaluated on Postoperative complications, morbidity, and mortality. Objective preoperative risk stratification focusing on frailty, functional status, and cognitive ability is necessary to accurately predict and reduce surgical complications in the elderly.
