Association between preadmission frailty and care level at discharge in older adults undergoing emergency laparotomy
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "British Journal of Surgery"
DOI: 10.1002/bjs.11392
Abstract: Older adults undergoing emergency abdominal surgery have significantly poorer outcomes than younger adults. For those who survive, the level of care required on discharge from hospital is unknown and such information could guide decision‐making. The… read more here.
