Summary

With increasing life expectancy, cardiac surgical procedures are increasingly being performed in older adults. The biological syndrome of frailty is an aging-associated state with diminished physiological reserve and resistance to stressors, such as major surgery. In the European System for Cardiac Operative risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE II) and the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) risk scoring systems, patient comorbidities including advanced age and poor mobility are considered as risk factors for operative mortality. However, an objective assessment of frailty is not included. Traditionally, frailty assessment before cardiac surgery is primarily performed based on surgeon's subjective perception of patient's general appearance. Objective measurement of frailty is increasingly being applied as a routine part of preoperative evaluation of elderly patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The most widely used frailty assessment tool is the Fried scale. The investigators aim to investigate whether Fried scale would predict operative mortality and morbidity in elderly patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery.
