As the population ages, more older adults undergo major elective surgery, yet frailty is often insufficiently assessed in routine practice and no universally accepted screening tool exists.\n\nThe Essential Frailty Toolset (EFT) is a simple validated frailty assessments and has demonstrated strong predictive value for mortality and major postoperative complications, particularly in cardiac surgery populations. EFT incorporates four key domains of cognition, anemia, serum albumin, and physical function capturing both physical and cognitive vulnerability. A modified version (mEFT) has been developed to improve feasibility and applicability in broader surgical settings, requiring minimal training and only a few minutes to administer. Despite its promise, mEFT has not been evaluated in elderly patients undergoing major elective non-cardiac surgery, representing an important gap in the current literature and motivating the present study.\n\nWe therefore propose a modified and simplified frailty screening tool tailored for elderly patients undergoing major elective non-cardiac surgery at our institution. The modified Essential Frailty Toolset (mEFT) is a multi-dimensional assessment designed to address this gap by evaluating physical function, cognition, nutrition, and anemia in just a few minutes. In this version, the tool assigns points based on specific clinical markers: the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test provides one point for a time ≥11.0 seconds and two points for ≥15.0 seconds; the Clock Drawing Test (CDT) provides one point for a score of ≤2 on a 3-point scale; nutritional risk is captured with one point for a BMI \\\u003C22.0 or unintentional weight loss of 5% over the last six months; and anemia provides one point based on hemoglobin levels (below 130g\u002FL for men and 120 g\u002FL for women). These modifications were made to enhance feasibility and clinical relevance in our population. Low serum albumin was rare in our cohort and therefore demonstrated limited discriminatory value as a screening marker. In contrast, low BMI and recent weight loss are well-established risk factors for malnutrition and sarcopenia and are readily obtainable in routine preoperative assessment. Similarly, both the TUG and CDT are quick, inexpensive, and require minimal training, making them well suited for large-scale screening in preoperative clinics.Importantly, the proposed components have been evaluated in a pilot study conducted in our institution.\n\nThis study will evaluate whether a high mEFT score (≥3) is associated with increased postoperative complications and 90-day readmissions among patients aged ≥70 years undergoing major elective surgery. Patients presenting for admission will be included. If mEFT accurately identifies high-risk patients, it may improve preoperative risk stratification, inform shared decision-making, and help identify individuals who could benefit from targeted prehabilitation, supporting broader implementation of frailty screening in surgical care.",[66,67,68,69,30],"Frailty in Adult Surgery","Frailty Syndrome","Elective Surgeries","Readmission Rates",[71,72,73,74,75,76],"Frailty","Postoperative Outcomes","Major elective surgery","Surgical Frailty","Readmission","Complications","RECRUITING","2026-03-06",{"date":80,"type":43},"2026-03-10",{"date":82,"type":43},"2025-01-20",{"date":84,"type":22},"2026-12-31",{"name":86,"class":50},"University of Iceland",1,{"id":89,"slug":90,"hasResults":11,"nctId":91,"briefTitle":92,"officialTitle":93,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":94,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":17,"minAge":18,"maxAge":4,"enrollmentInfo":95,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":63,"phases":4,"briefSummary":97,"conditions":98,"keywords":103,"overallStatus":77,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":108,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":109,"startDateStruct":111,"completionDateStruct":113,"leadSponsor":115,"locationsCount":87},"100617905","impact-of-intraoperative-hemodynamic-instability-on-outcomes-in-cardiac-surgery-100617905","NCT07324694","Impact of Intraoperative Hemodynamic Instability on Outcomes in Cardiac Surgery","Impact of Intraoperative Hemodynamic Instability on Postoperative Major Adverse Events in Cardiac Surgery Patients: A Prospective Cohort Study","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Patients aged 18 years or older.\n* Scheduled for elective cardiac surgery (CABG, Valve replacement\u002Frepair, or combined procedures).\n* Surgery performed under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).\n* Preoperative sinus rhythm.\n* Signed informed consent form.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Emergency or salvage surgery.\n* Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting.\n* Preoperative mechanical circulatory support (IABP, ECMO) requirement.\n* Pre-existing chronic renal failure requiring dialysis (HD\u002FPD).\n* Pre-existing cognitive impairment, dementia, or history of psychiatric disorders affecting cooperation.\n* Pregnancy.",{"count":96,"type":22},230,"Intraoperative hemodynamic instability (IOHI) is a common occurrence during cardiac surgery and is associated with organ hypoperfusion.

It generally reflects simple postoperative outcomes and allows the patient to return home.\n\nThe quality of gas recovery after surgery has not been studied to our knowledge, but it is not uncommon for an operated patient to emit some gas considered as a recovery of transit when it is ultimately a false transit preceding a postoperative ileus. Furthermore, intestinal gases and their composition reflect the intestinal microbiota. This microbiota has been shown to be predictive of the appearance of an operative complication. As the analysis of this microbiota cannot be carried out routinely, it is important to be able to use a reflection of this microbiota in routine practice and to correlate it with the surgical outcomes. Intestinal gas therefore seems to be the tool of choice.\n\nThe main objective is to evaluate the association between the appearance of an operative complication and the resumption of gas transit qualified according to its quantity and quality.\n\nThe secondary objectives are to compare the quantity and quality of gases pre- and post-operatively and to define a predictive score for surgical complications, based on the number and quality of post-surgical gases.\n\nData regarding gas transit are collected by the patient in a questionnaire the two days before the surgery and until the patient leaves hospital (or until day 15 post-operative if the patient is still hospitalized).\n\nData regarding possible complications ((defined according to Dindo-Clavien as any deviation from the expected postoperative outcomes within 90 days following surgery) are collected throughout the hospital stay (day 0 : surgery to day 15 post-operatively), during the post-operative consultation (day 30) and during a telephone call to the patient (day 90).\n\nThe expected results are to highlight a correlation between the quality\u002Fquantity of gases and post-operative outcomes.
