Functional outcome and frailty in colorectal surgery patients

Elhassan Elabbas,
Anita Sharma,
Khin Thu
et al.

Abstract: BackgroundFrailty is a recognized risk and predictor of poor health outcomes in older patients undergoing surgery. A significant proportion of elderly patients undergoing colorectal cancer‐related surgery are nevertheless not routinely assessed for frailty in current clinical practice in Australia. We examined the preoperative use of the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) to predict post‐operative functional outcomes in geriatric patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery.MethodsThis retrospective observational c… Show more

“…This endeavor holds significant value in averting frailty onset and enhancing patient quality of life. Notably, the occurrence of early postoperative frailty in elderly colorectal cancer patients was notably high at 78.4%, surpassing the findings of ELABBAS et al study (50%) ( 15 ) and falling below the previous research group investigation (92.2%) ( 4 ). The higher incidence of frailty in this study may be attributed to the inclusion of elderly patients over 65 years old, as age is a significant risk factor for frailty.…”

“…Subsequently, a questionnaire was developed to evaluate early frailty risk factors post-enterostomy in the elderly population. These factors include gender ( 4 ), age ( 13 ) education ( 4 ), marital status ( 14 ), acute and chronic diseases ( 15 ), self-perceived health status ( 14 ) monthly income ( 4 ), stoma complications (such as fecal skin dermatitis, stoma bleeding, injury, allergic dermatitis, necrosis, and mucosal separation) ( 16 ), receipt of chemoradiotherapy ( 17 ), stoma acceptance ( 16 ), sleep quality ( 18 ), social support ( 4 ), anxiety ( 14 ), preoperative frailty ( 19 ), and cancer stage ( 16 ). The recovery process post-enterostomy was divided into three stages: early surgery, recovery period, and post-discharge recovery.…”

“…As the elderly population burgeons, the necessity for colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery among this cohort becomes pronounced. Each patient in this context confronts intricate functional challenges compounded by an array of complex co-morbidities 15 , 16 , thereby necessitating resource-intensive preoperative assessment clinics and reviews to facilitate the final decision to operate. With these considerations in mind, we posit that a streamlined frailty index tool could potentially serve as a valuable aid within the preliminary assessment stage, thereby contributing to the arrangement of postoperative care strategies tailored to propel octogenarians toward the restoration of functional baselines, particularly for those expected to experience sustained survival following CRC resection surgery.…”
