Adverse outcomes and health-ecological influencing factors of preoperative frailty among elderly patients with gastric cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Frailty is defined as a state of decreased physiologic reserves arising from cumulative deficits in multiple homeostatic systems, which is important in the field of clinical oncology. We aimed to explore the relationship between preoperative frailty and adverse outcomes, and systematically analyze the factors influencing frailty based on the health ecology model among elderly gastric cancer patients.

Methods

A observational study was conducted to select 406 elderly patients who would undergo gastric cancer surgery at a tertiary hospital. The logistic regression model was used to examine the relationship between preoperative frailty and adverse outcomes, including total complications, prolonged length of stay (PLOS), and 90-day hospital readmission. Based on the healt
