Article Synopsis
- - As the population ages, older adults (65+) are undergoing more surgeries, which leads to increased risks due to health issues like comorbidities, polypharmacy, and frailty.
- - Traditional risk assessment tools often fail to predict post-operative outcomes for the elderly, but Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) effectively identifies patients at risk for complications such as delirium and infections.
- - CGA not only predicts risks but also aids in tailoring personalized perioperative care, improving surgical outcomes and preventing functional decline among older patients.
