Time-dependent impact of age and comorbidities on long-term overall survival after liver resection.

Background & Aims: Advanced age and comorbidities are known to be associated with increased perioperative risks after liver resection. However, the precise impact of these variables on long-term overall survival (OS) remains unclear. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the confounder-adjusted, time-dependent effect of age and comorbidities on OS following hepatectomy for primary and secondary malignancies.
