Performance Evaluation and Research for Older Adults Requiring Major Surgery

NCT00487890 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 214

Summary

The purpose is to identify modifiable factors in older adults associated with functional decline following major non-emergent surgery. The hypothesis of this proposal is that poor preoperative exercise tolerance and physical performance, potentially modifiable factors, are crucial in predicting functional decline and disability following surgery. When completed, this study will reveal detailed information on the incidence and risk factors for functional decline in older adults following surgery. It will direct future research targeting interventions in older adults at highest risk for functional decline following surgery, thereby decreasing the incidence of premature disability.
