Summary

This study looked at 330 older adults (65+) who had cancer surgery to see if low albumin levels before surgery led to more complications. Researchers compared patients with low albumin to those with normal levels, tracking problems like infections, hospital stay length, and ICU needs. The goal is to help doctors identify high-risk patients before surgery.
