Outcome of Colorectal Surgery in Elderly Populations

Abstract: PurposeThe aim of this study is to investigate the impact of age on short-term outcomes after colorectal surgery in terms of the 30-day postoperative morbidity and mortality rates.MethodsThe subjects for the study were patients who had undergone colorectal surgery. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to age; groups A and B patients were ≥80 and <80 years old of age, respectively. Both groups were manually matched for body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, Charlson Comorbidity I… Show more

“…Comorbidity that positively correlates with increasing age is more likely to represent the decisive factor for postoperative results in general and specifically subsequent to colorectal resections than patients' age alone 12,16 . This hypothesis was supported by data in this study taken from the initiation phase of our RCS program demonstrating patients' ASA-scores rather than age at time of oncological colorectal resection to correlate with duration of post-surgical ICU-stay and rate of pneumonia.…”
