Frailty in the Perioperative Period
Sponsor: Dr. Negrin University Hospital
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.

Preoperative frailty diagnostic
The preoperative evaluation of the patient will be carried out through the application of different scales that evaluate frailty (Edmonton frailty test, Barthel Index, Mini-mental test, Charlson Index) and a postoperative follow-up will be carried out for the diagnosis of complications during the first 90 postoperative days.
