Background: When considering hepatectomy for elderly HCC patients, it's essential to assess surgical safety and survival benefits. This study investigated the impact of preoperative frailty, assessed with the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS), on outcomes for octogenarians undergoing HCC hepatectomy.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study of octogenarians who had hepatectomy for HCC between 2010 and 2022 at 16 hepatobiliary centers was conducted. Patients were categorized as frail or non-frail based on preoperative CFS, with frailty defined as CFS ≥5. The primary endpoints were overall survival (OS), recurrence-free survival (RFS), and cancer-specific survival (CSS), with perioperative outcomes as secondary endpoints.
Results: Among 240 octogenarians, 105 were characterized as being frail. Frail patients had a higher incidence of postoperative 30-day morbidity and postoperative 30-day and 90-day mortality versus non-frail patients. Meanwhile, 5-year OS, RFS and CSS among frail patients were lower compared with non-frail patients. Univariable and multivariable analysis revealed that preoperative frailty was an independent risk factor of postoperative 30-day morbidity (OR: 2.060), OS (HR: 2.384), RFS (HR: 2.190) and CSS (HR: 2.203).
Conclusion: Preoperative frailty, as assessed by the CFS, was strongly associated with both short-term outcomes and long-term survival among octogenarians undergoing hepatectomy for HCC. Incorporating frailty assessment into the preoperative evaluation may help optimize patient selection and perioperative care.

Department of Surgery, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois.
Background: Frailty is associated with increased perioperative morbidity and mortality. How thoracic surgeons recognize, measure, and mitigate frailty in their daily clinical practice is unknown. We administered a national survey to determine the current practices of thoracic surgeons managing frail patients.

Objective: To develop a model for preoperatively predicting postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock (PCCS) in patients with poor left ventricular (LV) function undergoing cardiac surgery.
Methods: From the Society of Thoracic Surgeons Adult Cardiac Database, 11,493 patients with LV ejection fraction ≤35% underwent isolated on-pump surgery from 2018 through 2019, of whom 3428 experienced PCCS. In total, 68 preoperative clinical variables were considered in machine-learning algorithms trained and optimized using scikit-learn software.
Preoperative frailty in oesophageal cancer: postoperative outcomes and overall survival - meta-analysis and systematic review.
BMJ Support Palliat Care
January 2025
Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Tianjin, China
Purpose: To assess the prevalence of preoperative frailty in patients with oesophageal cancer and its impact on postoperative outcomes and overall survival.
Methods: A comprehensive computer-based search of the CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, CBM, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science and CINAHL databases was conducted for articles related to preoperative frailty in patients with oesophageal cancer. The search was carried out from the time of the construction of the database to 20 April 2024.
Cushing's Disease Clinical Phenotype and Tumor Behavior Vary with Age: Diagnostic and Perioperative Implications.

David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, University of California Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California.
Context: Little is known about presenting clinical characteristics, tumor biology, and surgical morbidity of Cushing's disease (CD) with aging.
Objective: Using a large multi-institutional dataset, we assessed diagnostic and prognostic significance of age in CD through differences in presentation, laboratory results, tumor characteristics, and postoperative outcomes.
Design: Data from the Registry of Adenomas of the Pituitary and Related Disorders (RAPID) were reviewed for patients with CD treated with transsphenoidal tumor resection at 11 centers between 2003 and 2023.
Prevalence of physical frailty and its associated factors among elderly patients undergoing hepatobiliary pancreatic surgery in China.

Article Synopsis
- Frailty is a serious condition in older adults that involves overall physical decline and increased vulnerability, especially in those undergoing surgery for hepatobiliary pancreatic disease (HBP).
- A study of 220 elderly patients revealed a frailty prevalence of 25%, with key risk factors identified as current smoking and poor exercise habits, while independent status and multimorbidity were protective factors.
- The findings highlight the importance of promoting exercise and ensuring non-smoking habits to help prevent frailty and improve surgical outcomes for older patients.
