Gastric Cancer
Conditions
Brief summary
Gastric cancer is most frequent after the fifth decade of life. Surgical risk is higher in aged population because of general health condition may affect the postoperative result. Aim of the study was to identify risk factors for post-operative mortality in octogenarian patients who underwent surgery for gastric cancer.
Detailed description
236 patients (181: 80-85 years old and 55: \>85 years old) underwent surgery for gastric cancer at the Sant'Orsola-Malpighi University Hospital in Bologna between 2010 and 2015. The variables of the two groups of patients were compared.
Interventions
PROCEDUREGastric resection
Partial gastrectomy with jejunal anastomosis, total gastrectomy, gastroenterostomy without gastrectomy or other (palliative surgery).

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Post-operative mortality In-hospital mortality was defined that occurred during hospitalization up to 90 days excluded post-operative mortality. Postoperative mortality | Up to 90-days | mortality occurred up to 90 days from surgery |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Overall survival | Up to 5-years | Overall survival was defined as the time from the date of surgery to patient death (including surgery-associated death or hospital death), or the date of last available information concerning vital status. |
