Predicting surgery risks for older adults
This study aims to build a tool that helps predict risks for older adults (65+) before planned major non-cardiac surgery. By understanding what factors affect recovery, doctors may be better able to plan your care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
