Screening for frailty among older patients with cancer that qualify for abdominal surgery

摘要

Objective: The Geriatric Assessment (GA) is an established method for evaluating and optimizing diagnostic and treatment plans. However, it requires experience and is time-consuming. Therefore, a variety of screening methods have been developed. The aim of this study was to compare their accuracy for predicting frailty among older patients with cancer qualified for abdominal surgery based on comparison to the GA.
