  1. FRAILTY AND THE PREOPERATIVE ASSESSMENTThomas Robinson, MDAssociate Professor, SurgeryUniversity of ColoradoAugust 5th, 2009 AGS THE AMERICAN GERIATRICS SOCIETY Geriatrics Health Professionals. Leading change. Improving care for older adults.

  2. Traditional PreOperative Evaluation Single end-organ function assessment does not capture all the information required to predict adverse outcomes for the geriatric patient

  3. DEFINITION OF FRAILTY • Frailty is an excess vulnerability to stressors, with reduced ability to maintain or regain homeostasis after a destabilizing event • A non-specific state of increasing risk… measured by the accumulation of frailty traits JAGS. (2006) 54:991. JAGS. (2007) 7:722.

  10. Frailty and PostOperative Complications Long-Term OPERATION Hospital Course

  11. Frailty and PostOperative Complications Long-Term OPERATION Hospital Course • Patients age ≥ 70 years undergoing inpatient operations (n = 125) underwent baseline frailty assessment • Increased frailty score was associated with: • Increased post-op complications (P = .02) • Longer hospital stay (P < .01) Arch Gerontol Geriatr (2009) 48:78. Crit Rev Onc/Heme. (2009) epub.

  12. Frailty and PostOperative Complications Long-Term OPERATION Hospital Course • Patients age ≥ 65 years undergoing inpatient operations (n = 110) underwent baseline frailty assessment • Four or more frailty markers predicted 6-month mortality: • Sensitivity 81% • Specificity 86% Ann Surg. (2009) 250:449.

  18. FrailtyCharacteristic:Hypoalbuminemia • Lower albumin is related to increased thirty-day morbidity and mortality across multiple surgical specialties in a dose response fashion. • Low serum albumin level was found to be most closely related to 30-day post-operative mortality from more than 30 pre-operative variables. Arch Surg. (1999) 134:36. J Am Coll Surg. (1997) 185:315.

  20. Frailty Characteristic:Geriatric Syndromes • ASA score of III or IV is closely related to 1-year mortality following hip fracture(P < .001) • Pre-existing burden of chronic disease predicts 1-year mortality following hip fracture J Bone Joint Surg. (1995) 77:1551. J Bone Min Res. (2005) 20:494.
