TL;DR
OFI-8 is a simple outpatient screening tool for identifying patients at high risk of infectious complications following colorectal cancer surgery and targeted OFI-8-guided perioperative risk interventions may improve the outcomes and reduce the healthcare burden.
Introduction: Postoperative complications are common in older adults and are influenced by frailty-related factors. This study examined whether the combined assessment of nutritional risk and oral frailty was associated with postoperative complications in older surgical patients. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 20...
