Abstract

Background The evaluation of surgical risk is crucial in elderly patients. At present, there is little evidence of the usefulness of comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) as a part of the overall assessment of surgical elderly patients. Methods We verified whether CGA associated with established surgical risk assessment tools is able to improve the prediction of postoperative morbidity and mortality in 377 elderly patients undergoing elective surgery. Results Overall mortality and morbidity were 2.4% and 19.9%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that impaired cognitive function (odds ratio [OR], 1.33; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.15 to 4.22; P
