Abstract
Objectives
This study investigated the impact of clinical frailty on short-term outcomes of simultaneous colorectal cancer (CRC) and colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLM) resections.
Setting and participants
Data of older patients ≥ 60 years old undergoing simultaneous CRC/CRLM resections between 2005 and 2018 were identified in the United States (US) Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) database.
Methods
Frailty was determined using the Hospital Frailty Risk Score (HFRS) according to the International Classification of Diseases Ninth and Tenth (ICD-9 and ICD-10) codes. Study outcomes included mortality, prolonged hospital stay (LOS), non-routine discharge, and complications.
Results
Data of 4514 patients were analyzed. Frailty was significantly associated with increased risks of in-hospital mortality (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 3.65, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.52, 5.28), non-routine discharge (aOR = 2.44, 95% CI: 2.08, 2.87), prolonged LOS (aOR = 3.07, 95% CI: 2.60, 3.61), overall complications (aOR = 3.47, 95% CI: 3.03, 3.97), sepsis (aOR = 13.73, 95% CI: 9.76, 19.31), respiratory failure (aOR = 4.99, 95% CI: 3.80, 6.57), acute kidney injury (AKI) (aOR = 6.42, 95% CI: 4.83, 8.52), and acute liver failure (aOR = 2.10, 95% CI: 1.38, 3.21), as well as 32.69 thousand USD higher total hospital costs (95% CI: 28.41, 36.97) than no frailty. Incorporating frailty with traditional demographic and clinical risk factors improved in-hospital mortality prediction (area under ROC curve [AUC]: 0.765 to 0.799).
Conclusions
In older patients aged ≥ 60 years undergoing simultaneous CRC and CRLM resection, HFRS-defined frailty is a significant predictor of adverse in-hospital outcomes. The addition of HFRS-defined frailty to demographic and clinical variables in predictive models improved the AUC for mortality prediction. Incorporating frailty assessment into the preoperative risk stratification and decision-making process for these patients may support surgeons in delivering more personalized and effective care.
期刊介绍:
There is increasing scientific and clinical interest in the interactions of nutrition and health as part of the aging process. This interest is due to the important role that nutrition plays throughout the life span. This role affects the growth and development of the body during childhood, affects the risk of acute and chronic diseases, the maintenance of physiological processes and the biological process of aging. A major aim of "The Journal of Nutrition, Health & Aging" is to contribute to the improvement of knowledge regarding the relationships between nutrition and the aging process from birth to old age.
