This study tests a simple frailty screening tool in older adults before major surgery. It aims to see if the tool helps identify patients who might need extra support before and after their operation.
This study tests whether a 'prehabilitation' program (tailored exercise and nutrition support before surgery) helps older patients who are frail recover better after hip or knee replacement. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the prehabilitation group or the usual care group.
This study tests a pre-surgery “exercise and health training” program for older adults who are having major surgery and are already less fit than expected. It aims to help people tolerate surgery better and reduce complications by improving fitness beforehand.
