TL;DR
Frailty and sarcopenia proxies are prevalent among patients undergoing elective AWR and are independently associated with increased postoperative morbidity, with their coexistence (dual-impairment) conferring the greatest risk.
BACKGROUND Quadriceps tendon rupture is a functionally devastating injury frequently affecting patients with high comorbidity burden and impaired physiological reserve. Frailty represents an age-independent construct of diminished physiological resilience; its impact on hospitalization and long-term functional outcomes...
Background Preoperative sarcopenia and frailty are associated with poor outcomes in elderly patients undergoing cardiac surgery; this study aimed to investigate the effects of sarcopenia and frailty on postoperative recovery in elderly patients. Methods This prospective cohort study included 566 patients aged ≥60 years...
BACKGROUND Chronological age inadequately reflects physiologic vulnerability in older adults undergoing complex reconstruction. Frailty, quantified by the 5-item Modified Frailty Index (mFI-5), may better stratify perioperative risk in fibula free flap (FFF) reconstruction for head and neck defects, but its impact rema...
Regular screening for sarcopenia identified by pre-operative CT is an excellent predictor of mortality, post-operative complications, and poor function in elderly patients with hip fractures.
INTRODUCTION Sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity (SO) are increasingly recognized as CT-based body composition phenotypes associated with adverse surgical outcomes. This study evaluated the relationship of clinical-demographic factors and CT-based body composition parameters with minor versus major postoperative complica...
BACKGROUND Sarcopenia, defined as loss of skeletal muscle mass and function, is associated with adverse outcomes in major surgery. However, its prevalence and impact on outcomes in chronic pancreatitis (CP) patients undergoing pancreatic surgeries remain unknown. METHODS Retrospective analysis of adult CP patients un...
