The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of frailty in patients ≥ 80 years admitted for elective major abdominal surgery.
Patients ≥ 80 years admitted for elective major abdominal surgery will be asked to participate in this study where frailty will be scored using the Clinical Frailty Scale and by measuring hand-grip-strength.
Primary outcome is mortality at 30 days, 90 days and 1 year.
