Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of frailty in patients ≥ 80 years admitted for elective major abdominal surgery.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients ≥ 80 years admitted for elective major abdominal surgery will be asked to participate in this study where frailty will be scored using the Clinical Frailty Scale and by measuring hand-grip-strength.

Primary outcome is mortality at 30 days, 90 days and 1 year.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Frail, non-frail

Frail Group: Those individuals identified as frail by low hand-grip-strength and/or the Clinical Frailty Scale.

Non-frail Group: Those individuals identified as not frail by hand-grip-strength and/or the Clinical Frailty Scale.

Scoring of frailty

Intervention Type OTHER

1. Patients will be scored by the Clinical frailty Scale
2. Patients' hand-grip-strength will be measured by a dynamometer.
