Comparing the Association of Different Frailty Scores to the Incidence of Post-operative Delirium and Cognitive Dysfunction
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Frailty Screening Tools for Frail Elderly Syndrome and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 400 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Patients who are frail will have higher rate for post-operative morbidities, mortality, prolonged hospital stays, loss of independence, increase in institutionalization, post-operative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) and delirium (POD). So, it is crucial to find a suitable frailty assessment tool that can be incorporated into a guideline and reference for our local setting in geriatric peri-operative management. In the mean time, create awareness regarding the frailty elderly population with POD, POCD and other associated poor outcomes among our clinicians.
