Perioperative geriatric assessment and intervention
The intervention will comprise a preoperative, thorough geriatric, multidisciplinary assessment (CGA) and tailored interventions, focused on optimizing health issues of expected importance in further course of surgery. Furthermore, postoperative ward rounds by a geriatric team will be conducted. Thus, the course of treatment for each patient will be a close interdisciplinary collaboration.
