Study of outcomes by frailty in surgical patients
This trial looks at whether “frailty” (how weak or vulnerable someone is) changes short- and long-term outcomes after surgery. It may help doctors better predict who could benefit from extra support before and after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to have surgery.
- Your weight has not dropped by more than 10% in the 6 months before surgery.
- You do not have cancer that has spread to distant places (distant metastases).
- You do not have serious organ problems that affect breathing, kidneys, or the heart.

This study looks at “frailty,” or how well the body may handle stress, around the time of surgery in people age 65 and older. It may help doctors better understand who is at higher risk and how to plan care around surgery.
This trial looks at ways to help “frailty” (low strength and resilience) in people staying in intensive care units. It mainly enrolls adults who expect to be in the ICU for more than 24 hours, and it tries to avoid people whose mobility problems have other causes.
This trial studies simple “frailty” assessments (tests of strength, memory, and daily functioning) to better predict risk in people with gynecologic cancers who are planning or having surgery. If you qualify, the results may help doctors identify who needs extra support before and after surgery.
This trial compares different ways to measure frailty in people aged 70+ before surgery lasting at least 2 hours, to see which tool works best.
This study looks at how certain blood markers (albumin/creatine ratio, vitamin B12, and folate) relate to frailty in older adults having surgery for stomach or intestinal cancer. The goal is to understand if these markers can help predict which patients may be more frail.
This study looks at frailty in older adults (70+) who are having an outpatient digestive endoscopy. It aims to understand how frailty affects the procedure and recovery.
