Sponsor's own description

Frailty is a term specific to the geriatric period. It is used to describe weak, unstable, frail patients and partially expresses the frailty of the elderly patient. Once the frailty process begins, the risk of loss of mobility, dependency and mortality increases. Frailty is an important predictor of adverse outcomes after surgery. According to studies conducted in various surgical situations, fragility is a major risk factor for morbidity, mortality and longer hospital stay. According to the available data, frailty has a sufficient basis for determining the risks of patients before surgery, developing preventive methods and making personal treatment decisions. As the frailty index increased, it was observed that the duration of postoperative hospital stay was associated with the need for intensive care, postoperative complications, and the rate of re-admissions within 30 days. ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) classification is widely used in order to evaluate the physical condition preoperatively in geriatric individuals with multiple comorbidities. Considering the fragility variable while creating the ASA score in the preoperative period may be useful in determining the follow-up strategy during the operation and postoperative period. For example, a patient who is evaluated as ASA 2 because he has no problems other than simple 1-2 comorbid conditions, involuntary weakening of 5% in the last 1 year (not easily noticed), weakness (can only be detected with a dynamometer) and cessation of going out of the house (can only be understood when asked privately). ) can be categorized as at risk at ASA level 3-4, as it is understood to be fragile. The aim of this project is to examine the frequency of frailty in elderly individuals who will be operated on, and to examine the relationship between frailty and ASA score using the anthropometry and comorbidity differences between frail preoperative patients and those who do not.
