“Gerontosurgery”: Evaluation of Multidimensional Assessment Scales for Elderly Patients Undergoing Major Abdominal Surgery. What Is the Best Prediction Model?
This study highlights the limitations of existing geriatric assessment scales in predicting postoperative complications for elderly patients undergoing major oncological surgery. Among the evaluated tools, only the G8 score showed an association with complications. However, the results suggest a need for more tailored risk stratification models that incorporate comorbidities, frailty, nutritional status, and physiological reserves. Further research with larger sample sizes is necessary to validate these findings and improve preoperative decision-making in geriatric oncologic surgery.
