Frailty and decisional regret after elective noncardiac surgery: a multicentre prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Frailty is associated with morbidity and mortality after surgery. The association of frailty with decisional regret is poorly defined. Our objective was to estimate the association of preoperative frailty with decisional regret status in the year after surgery.

Methods

Decisional regret about having undergone surgery was ascertained at 30, 90, and 365 (primary time point) days after surgery using a 3-point ordinal scale. Bayesian ordinal logistic regression was used to estimate the association of frailty with decisional regret, adjusted for surgery type, age, sex, and mental health conditions.
