International Comparison of Geriatric-Associated Variables in Major Gastroenterological Surgery Between National Clinical Database and American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program.

ABSTRACT:

Backgrounds

Incidence of malignant disease in older patients has been increasing. These geriatric patients have more comorbidities and frailty than younger patients, necessitating different approaches in evaluation and treatment. Geriatric surgery studies in Japan have followed those conducted in the US. The aims of this study were to compare trends in geriatric variables for patients who underwent gastroenterological surgeries between two countries, and to elucidate the characteristics of them.

Study design

Geriatric variables and outcomes were analyzed via nationwide databases in both countries. Subjects were defined as patients with age ≥ 65 who underwent seven major gastroenterological surgeries for malignant disease. Basic statistical values were compared between them.<
