Abstract
Preoperative risk stratification is an important step in surgical procedures. The current scoring systems do not predict accurate overall surgical outcomes in complex comorbid patients. The novel model of preoperative multi-domain risk stratification is described in this article, which categorises patients in to three risk groups, aiming to modify the risk for optimal surgical outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The prevalence and complications of biliary disease increase with age. Frailty has been associated with adverse outcomes in the hospital setting. We describe the prevalence of frailty in older patients hospitalised with benign biliary disease and its association with duration of hospital stay, and 90-day and 1-year mortality. METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients aged 75 years and over admitted with acute biliary disease between 17 September 2014 and 20 March 2017. Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) score was recorded on admission. RESULTS We included 200 patients with a median age of 82 (75-99) years, 60% were female; 154 (77%) were independent for personal activities of daily living (ADLs) and 99 (49.5%) for instrumental ADLs. Cholecystitis was the most common diagnosis (43%) followed by cholangitis (36%) and pancreatitis (21%). Ninety-nine patients were non frail (NF; CFS 1-4) and 101 were frail (F; CFS 5-9). Some 104 patients received medical treatment only. Surgery was more common in NF patients (11% vs F 2%), percutaneous drainage more frequently performed in F patients (15% vs NF 5%) and endoscopic cholangiopancreatography was similar in both groups (F 32% vs NF 31%). Frailty was associated with worse clinical outcomes in F vs NF: functional deconditioning (34% vs 11%), increased care level (19% vs 3%), length of stay (12 vs 7 days), 90-day mortality (8% vs 3%) and 1-year mortality (48% vs 24%). CONCLUSIONS Half of patients in our cohort were frail and spent longer in hospital, were less likely to undergo surgery and were less likely to remain alive at 1 year after discharge.

Br J Anaesth 2023; 130:e66-e79. [PMID: 35973839 PMCID: PMC9875905 DOI: 10.1016/j.bja.2022.06.035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2022] [Revised: 06/15/2022] [Accepted: 06/25/2022] [Indexed: 01/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Although thoracic surgery is understood to confer a high risk of postoperative respiratory complications, the substantial haemodynamic challenges posed are less well appreciated. This review highlights the influence of cardiovascular comorbidity on outcome, reviews the complex pathophysiological changes inherent in one-lung ventilation and lung resection, and examines their influence on cardiovascular complications and postoperative functional limitation. There is now good evidence for the presence of right ventricular dysfunction postoperatively, a finding that persists to at least 3 months. This dysfunction results from increased right ventricular afterload occurring both intraoperatively and persisting postoperatively. Although many patients adapt well, those with reduced right ventricular contractile reserve and reduced pulmonary vascular flow reserve might struggle. Postoperative right ventricular dysfunction has been implicated in the aetiology of postoperative atrial fibrillation and perioperative myocardial injury, both common cardiovascular complications which are increasingly being appreciated to have impact long into the postoperative period. In response to the physiological demands of critical illness or exercise, contractile reserve, flow reserve, or both can be overwhelmed resulting in acute decompensation or impaired long-term functional capacity. Aiding adaptation to the unique perioperative physiology seen in patients undergoing thoracic surgery could provide a novel therapeutic avenue to prevent cardiovascular complications and improve long-term functional capacity after surgery.

Perioperative Factors Impact on Mortality and Survival Rate of Geriatric Patients Undergoing Surgery in the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Prospective Cohort Study in Indonesia. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11185292. [PMID: 36142942 PMCID: PMC9506116 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11185292] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2022] [Revised: 08/09/2022] [Accepted: 09/05/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have an impact on geriatric patients worldwide since geriatrics itself is an age group with a high risk due to declined physiological function and many comorbidities, especially for those who undergo surgery. In this study, we determine the association between perioperative factors with 30-day mortality and a survival rate of geriatric patients undergoing surgery during COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted at 14 central hospitals in Indonesia. The recorded variables were perioperative factors, 30-day mortality, and survival rate. Analyses of associations between variables and 30-day mortality were performed using univariate/multivariable logistic regression, and survival rates were determined with Kaplan−Meier survival analysis. Results: We analyzed 1621 elderly patients. The total number of patients who survived within 30 days of observation was 4.3%. Several perioperative factors were associated with 30-day mortality (p < 0.05) is COVID-19 (OR, 4.34; 95% CI, 1.04−18.07; p = 0.04), CCI > 3 ( odds ratio [OR], 2.33; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.03−5.26; p = 0.04), emergency surgery (OR, 3.70; 95% CI, 1.96−7.00; p ≤ 0.01), postoperative ICU care (OR, 2.70; 95% CI, 1.32−5.53; p = 0.01), and adverse events (AEs) in the ICU (OR, 3.43; 95% CI, 1.32−8.96; p = 0.01). Aligned with these findings, COVID-19, CCI > 3, and comorbidities have a log-rank p < 0.05. The six comorbidities that have log-rank p < 0.05 are moderate-to-severe renal disease (log-rank p ≤ 0.01), cerebrovascular disease (log-rank p ≤ 0.01), diabetes with chronic complications (log-rank p = 0.03), metastatic solid tumor (log-rank p = 0.02), dementia (log-rank p ≤ 0.01), and rheumatology disease (log-rank p = 0.03). Conclusions: Having at least one of these conditions, such as COVID-19, comorbidities, emergency surgery, postoperative ICU care, or an AE in the ICU were associated with increased mortality in geriatric patients undergoing surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic.
