Abstract:
Objective To investigate the relationship between preoperative frailty and short-term postoperative complications in elderly breast cancer patients.Methods A convenience sampling method was used to select 231 elderly breast cancer patients who underwent elective surgery in a tertiary care hospital in Beijing from July 2022 to December 2022.General information on elderly patients was collected and the frailty assessment was performed 1 day before surgery,and the occurrence of complications in elderly patients was followed up 30 days after surgery.Results Among the 214 elderly breast cancer patients,37 patients had complications within 30 days postoperatively.Binary logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of complications at 30 days postoperatively was 5.532 times higher in elderly breast cancer patients with preoperative frailty than it in non-frail patients(P＜0.05).Elder breast cancer patients with problems of decreased free movement,increased resistance/loss of endurance,and weight loss had a high risk of postoperative complications.Conclusion Preoperative frailty affects the occurrence of complications in elderly breast cancer patients within 30 days after surgery and suggests that nursing staff should strengthen perioperative health management for elderly breast cancer patients with preoperative frailty and actively prevent the occurrence and development of frailty.
