Summary

This study looked at 8,751 patients aged 65 and older who had elective non-cardiac, non-brain surgery. Researchers examined how patients' health and daily function before surgery related to serious heart and brain complications within 30 days after surgery. The goal was to compare different assessment tools to see which best predicts risks.
