Description
Di Yang and co-authors build a prediction model for short-term outcomes after bowel cancer surgery in older patients in a 2026 prospective study. Patients aged sixty or older undergoing planned keyhole removal of colorectal cancer completed a comprehensive geriatric assessment covering function, nutrition, and muscle mass. Major adverse events within ninety days of surgery were the outcome of interest.
About one patient in four experienced a major adverse event in both the development and validation groups. Six preoperative factors independently predicted events: weight loss, daily activity score, a kidney blood marker, muscle mass index, low albumin, and tumor stage. The model discriminated well and calibrated excellently in both groups. The authors offer the tool for personal risk estimates and for targeting extra support to high-risk older patients before surgery.
