Brief summary

In addition to the regular ASA classification, patients would also be assigned the Clinical frailty scale (CFS) during preoperative examinations in anesthesiology clinics. The aim is to compare the usefulness of ASA and CFS categorization for predicting perioperative and postoperative complications and length of postoperative stay in elective surgeries.

Detailed description

CFS significantly correlates with complications in patients treated in emergency department. This study is expected to provide information on how CFS correlates with complications and length of stay in elective surgeries. In addition to the regular ASA classification, patients would also be assigned the Clinical frailty scale (CFS) during preoperative examinations in anesthesiology clinics. The respondents are all elective patients over 65 years of age who have not had previously recorded mental difficulties that interfere with their daily life. Patients suffering from senile dementia would not be excluded from this study. After the treatment was completed, the medical history of each patient would be reviewed and statistically processed. The aim is to compare the usefulness of ASA and CFS categorization for predicting perioperative and postoperative complications and length of postoperative stay in elective surgeries.
