Impact of frailty, malnutrition and socioeconomic status on perioperative outcomes
Perioperative risk evaluation should consider both frailty and malnutrition as separate, significant risk factors. Despite strong causal links with frailty and malnutrition, socioeconomic disadvantage is not associated with worse postoperative outcomes. Additional studies regarding the prospective identification of these patients with implementation of strategies to mitigate frailty and malnutrition and assessment of perioperative risk are required.
