Core Tip	This meta-analysis focuses on understanding the impact of frailty on short-term outcomes in individuals undergoing colorectal cancer surgery. The researchers analyzed 24 studies involving adult patients aged 18 and older who underwent planned colorectal surgery. Relevant literature search, until August 2023, was conducted using PubMed (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/), EMBASE (https://www.elsevier.com/products/embase), and Scopus (https://www.scopus.com/home.uri) databases. Observational studies of prospective and retrospective cohort design, as well as case-control studies were included. Pooled findings indicated that frailty was associated with a significant increase in perioperative complications, longer hospital stays, higher risk of reoperation, and increased mortality rate.
