Summary

The presence of frailty is associated with a high risk of complications in the perioperative period, increasing morbidity and mortality, hospital stay, and loss of quality of life. In this prospective observational study, an evaluation of frailty was performed in patients older than 65 years old who undergo scheduled and urgent surgery. 138 patients are being included. The main objective is to evaluate the prevalence of frailty in patients older than 65 years undergoing surgery in our hospital and its association with postoperative mortality.
