Despite this, these conditions are not routinely assessed preoperatively, and their impact and interactions during the perioperative period remain poorly understood. Using ultra-rapid screening tools, this study aimed to (1) compare the perioperative prevalence and trajectory of frailty between patients with and without CI and (2) investigate patient-reported outcome measures and clinical outcomes associated with preoperative frailty and CI.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>This multicentered longitudinal cohort study assessed CI and frailty in 370 older non-cardiac surgical patients using ultra-rapid screening tools: the Ascertain Dementia Eight-item Questionnaire (AD8) (cutoff: ≥2) and 5-item FRAIL Questionnaire (prefrail: 1–2; frail: ≥3). The trajectories of frailty in CI versus no-CI patients were analyzed using a linear mixed-effects model. Univariable and multivariable logistic regressions were conducted to identify risk factors associated with preoperative frailty.</div></div><div><h3>Main results</h3><div>Up to 63% of older surgical patients experienced preoperative prefrailty (48%) or frailty (15%). Eighty-one percent of patients with preoperative CI were preoperatively prefrail (49%) or frail (32%). Patients with CI were more frail at all postoperative time points than no-CI patients. Patients classified as prefrail/frail preoperatively had longer length of stay, greater incidence of non-home discharge, and composite outcomes at 30 days than robust patients. Patients with combined prefrailty/frailty and CI experienced significantly worse 90-day composite outcomes than those with prefrailty/frailty alone. In the multivariable analysis, females (3-fold), orthopedic surgery (7-fold), significant preoperative functional disability (6-fold), and high risk of obstructive sleep apnea (5-fold) were significantly associated with preoperative frailty.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>Patients with preoperative CI were significantly more frail at all perioperative time points than those without. While preoperative prefrailty/frailty was associated with significantly worse 30-day outcomes, only patients with combined prefrailty/frailty and CI experienced worse long-term outcomes at 90 days.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15506,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Anesthesia","volume":"107 ","pages":"Article 112015"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145086235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
