Effectiveness of frailty screening and perioperative team management of colectomy patients aged 80 years or more - 10/02/22
Abstract |
Background |
We aimed to clarify usefulness of the modified Frailty Index 11 (mFI-11) for assessing risk of postoperative complications (POCs) and effectiveness of perioperative management team (POMT) intervention for improving postoperative status of frail aged patients requiring colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery.
Methods |
We compared, retrospectively, surgical outcomes among 151 consecutive CRC surgery patients aged ≥80 years. Patients were grouped by mFI-11 scores and by POMT intervention (vs. no POMT intervention).
Results |
POCs were more prevalent, postoperative stays were longer, and discharge status was poorer among high-risk (mFI-11 ≥ 3/11) patients without POMT intervention than among low-risk (mFI-11 ≤ 2/11) patients (p = 0.04, p = 0.02, p < 0.01). Multiple POCs occurred less frequently and performance of activities of daily living was better for high-risk patients with (vs. those without) POMT intervention (p = 0.04, p = 0.03).
Conclusion |
POMT intervention appears beneficial for frail aged patients scheduled for CRC surgery.
