Quick tests could reveal hidden surgery risks for seniors
NCT ID NCT06988176
Summary
This study aims to see if brief, simple tests measuring muscle strength, breathing, walking, and memory can predict which older adults (age 65+) are more likely to have complications after major abdominal surgery. Researchers will perform these tests during routine pre-surgery visits and then check medical records 30 and 90 days after surgery to see if problems occurred. The goal is to find an easy way to identify patients at higher risk before their operation.
