The Impact of Perioperative Geriatric Care on Outcomes After Elective Noncardiac Surgery
The Impact of Perioperative Geriatric Care on Outcomes After Elective Noncardiac Surgery
The investigators will conduct a population-based study using health administrative data to evaluate the impact of preoperative geriatric consultation on postoperative outcomes in older patients having elective, non-cardiac surgery
The investigators will use multilevel multivariable analyses to measure the association between preoperative geriatric assessment or consultation and outcomes after major elective non-cardiac surgery. Sensitivity analyses will be done to evaluate types and timing of geriatric care around surgery, as well as for effect modification based on patient and procedural factors.
