Summary

Frailty is prevalent in older adults and may be a better predictor of post-operative morbidity and mortality than chronological age. Preoperative risk factors and physiological reserves were assessed on patients more than 70 years old who are scheduled for surgery under general or regional anesthesia. The aim of this retrospective analysis was to examine the impact of relevant geriatric assessments on adverse outcomes in older surgical patients.
