A survey of perioperative medicine services with a focus on provision for older surgical patients in the UK and Republic of Ireland: SNAP-3
The survey highlights the variation in perioperative medicine services that exist for older surgical patients despite national guidelines advocating their widespread implementation. Opportunity exists to develop interspecialty perioperative services further and promote identification of frailty, cognitive impairment, and delirium, all of which negatively impact postoperative outcomes for older surgical patients.
