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 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.
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 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 study follows older adults to understand frailty and dependence over time. It may help improve care for people your age.
This study looks at how frailty affects recovery and outcomes for patients aged 70 and older who are having planned surgery to remove colorectal cancer. The goal is to better understand frailty's impact so care can be improved.
