- The study investigates how frailty and nutritional status impact 90-day mortality rates after primary cytoreductive surgery for ovarian cancer.
- Frailty was determined using a frailty index and nutritional status was assessed through serum albumin levels, with low albumin linked to higher mortality rates.
- The results indicate that both frailty and low albumin are significant predictors of higher mortality, suggesting that improving patient nutrition and functional status pre-surgery could be beneficial.
