New study tests if frailty score can predict surgery risks in seniors
NCT ID NCT07667764
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether the P-POSSUM score, a tool used to predict surgical risks, can accurately forecast complications and death after abdominal surgery in patients aged 60 and older. Researchers will also check if adding a frailty assessment improves predictions. The study involves 3,000 patients at Bach Mai Hospital and uses existing medical records plus some new data. No new treatments are being tested.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to better risk prediction tools for older patients undergoing abdominal surgery, helping doctors identify those at higher risk for complications.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only tests prediction accuracy, so even if it works, it won't directly improve outcomes. Results may not apply to other hospitals or populations.
