Long-Term Survival and Risk of Institutionalization in Onco-Geriatric Surgical Patients: Long-Term Results of the PREOP Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To evaluate long-term survival and institutionalization in onco-geriatric surgical patients, and to analyze the association between these outcomes and a preoperative risk score.

Design

Prospective cohort study with long-term follow-up.

Setting

International and multicenter locations.

Participants

Patients aged 70 years or older undergoing elective surgery for a malignant solid tumor at five centers (n = 229).

Measurements

We assessed long-term survival and institutionalization using the Preoperative Risk Estimation for Onco-geriatric Patients (PREOP) score, developed to predict the 30-day risk of major complications. The PREOP score collected data about sex, type of surgery, and the American Society for Anesthesiologists classification, as wel
