NCT ID NCT07440095

First seen Mar 08, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 12 times

Summary

This study analyzed data from 100 patients aged 80 and older who had major abdominal surgery. Researchers looked at frailty scores and blood markers to see if they could predict who would die within 30 days after surgery. The goal is to improve how doctors assess risk in very elderly patients before surgery.
