Description
BackgroundElderly patients commonly pose a significant challenge, mainly in emergency settings where the time to optimize the high-risk patient with other associated co-morbidities is inadequate, which predisposes these patients to a number of complications postoperatively. There is paucity of data on predictors of morbidity and mortality among elderly surgical patients in Uganda.
