NCT ID NCT07537569
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a thorough health assessment before liver surgery can help older patients (70+) have fewer serious complications and recover better. Researchers will give 242 participants a special geriatric evaluation that checks frailty, memory, nutrition, and daily living skills. The goal is to see if this extra step leads to safer surgery and improved quality of life after the operation.
