Objective To explore the relativity of preoperative health status and perioperative com-plication incidence of aged patients. Methods The chnical data of 3108 old aged people (60 and above 60 years old)who were operated from January 2006 to November 2007 was retrospectively analysed. General e-valuated preoperative health status, and summarized perioperative complication incidence. Results Before operation, 68.7% patients had one or more coexist disease, 41.1% patients had two or more coexist dis-eases, 38.7% had three coexist diseases in the meantime. After operation,one or more complications oc-curred in 21.4% (666/3108)patients, 2.8% (88/3108) patients died because of heart,brain,lung, kidney function failure. Conclusions Aged patients have more coexist diseases, the complications and death rates are higher than those in younger patients. The complications are correlated with preoperative health status and coexist diseases. Some factors could influence the patients rehabilitation,such as heart,brain,lung, kidney function, water-electrolyte balance and blood glucose change.
