Associations of postoperative delirium with perioperative frailty worsening and their combined effect on 1-year mortality in older surgical patients: a prospective cohort study
POD accelerates perioperative frailty worsening in older surgical patients, and their coexistence substantially increases 1-year mortality risk. Early recognition and proactive management of POD may help mitigate frailty progression and improve long-term survival.
