Objective |
Although endometrial cancer commonly occurs in elderly women, little is known about the perioperative outcomes of the oldest women (>80 years of age) who are treated surgically.
Study Design |
We performed an analysis of women ≥65 years of age with endometrial cancer who underwent hysterectomy from 1998–2007 and who were registered in the Nationwide Inpatient Sample.
Results |
A total of 25,698 women were identified. Compared with women who were 65-69 years old, women who were ≥85 years old were more likely to have perioperative surgical complications (12% vs 17%), postoperative medical complications (24% vs 34%), and a longer length of stay (3 vs 5 days) and to require a transfusion (6% vs 10%; P < .05 for all). The perioperative mortality rate was 0.4% in women who were 65-69 years old compared with 1.6% in women who were ≥85 years old (P < .0001).
Conclusion |
The morbidity that is associated with surgery for endometrial cancer is significantly higher in women who are >80 years old, even after medical comorbidities have been considered.
