Summary

This study looked at over 1,300 older adults (60+) having surgery to create a tool that predicts when a patient's body temperature might drop dangerously low during the operation. The goal was to help doctors take steps to keep patients warm and avoid complications. The research tested a new warning system and compared different ways to manage temperature.
