Background: While preoperative optimization improves outcomes for older adults undergoing major elective surgery, no such optimization is possible in the emergent setting. Surgeons must identify postoperative interventions to improve outcomes among older emergency general surgery (EGS) patients. The objective of this cohort study was to examine the association between early follow-up with a primary care physician (PCP) and the risk of nursing home acceptance or death in the year following EGS admission among older adults.
