Key result
Preoperative frailty linked to ~20% longer hospital stay in abdominal surgical oncology.
Observational (n=142)
Relative Risk: 1.2 (95% CI 1.02–1.41)
Absolute Event Rate: 9% vs 6%
p-value: p=0.031
Frailty assessment may flag prolonged-stay risk in abdominal surgical oncology; leaves open whether screening or ultrasound sarcopenia markers improve outcomes.

Juhi Sharma (2026) conducted an observational in Abdominal surgical oncology (n=142). Preoperative frailty vs. Non-frail was evaluated on Hospital length of stay (LOS) (RR 1.20, 95% CI 1.02-1.41, p=0.031). Preoperative frailty significantly prolonged hospital length of stay (median 9 vs. 6 days; RR 1.20) in patients undergoing abdominal surgical oncology.
