| Core Tip |
Ageing is associated with frailty, increased co-morbidities and worse post-operative outcomes. Some studies on prehabilitation showed its potential in improving post-operative outcomes for elective colorectal surgery but selection criteria and prehabilitation protocols are heterogeneous. Through propensity score matching, this study showed that prehabilitation in non-frail older patients (≥ 65 years) did not improve short-term outcomes and 1-year mortality. Open surgery was an independent predictor of 1-year mortality. Consideration should be made to modify and stratify the selection criteria for prehabilitation based on frailty scores and co-morbidity burden to identify the group of patients who will best benefit given finite resources. |
