Frailty

Brief summary

This study aims to evaluate frailty using Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) before surgery and find out how frailty affects short-term postoperative recovery after surgery using Quality of Recovery-15 (QOR-15) questionnaire in patients undergoing minimally invasive distal gastrectomy for early gastric cancer.

Detailed description

As the elderly population increases, the evaluation and management of preoperative frailty is becoming important. In patients with frailty, exposure to external stress, such as surgery, can reduce physical function, increase postoperative complication, and raise the risk of death. This study aims to evaluate frailty using an automated device performing SPPB (Andantefit) and find out how frailty affects postoperative recovery.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Poor postoperative outcome (the Korean version of Quality of Recovery-15 [QoR-15K] < 122)on postoperative day 3The minimum and maximum values of QoR-15K are 0 and 150, respectively. Higher scores mean better outcomes.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Poor postoperative outcome (the Korean version of Quality of Recovery-15 [QoR-15K] < 122)on postoperative day 1The minimum and maximum values of QoR-15K are 0 and 150, respectively. Higher scores mean better outcomes.

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
Pain score at rest / during ambulationpostoperative day 1, 2, 3Measuring with 11-pointed numeric rating scale (NRS). The minimum and maximum values of NRS are 0 and 11, respectively. Higher score means a more severe pain.
Ambulation distancepostoperative day 1, 2, 3Total ambulation distance for a day. Measured by pedometer
First gas out timeup to 1 week after surgeryMeasurement of the time until the first gas out after surgery
Postoperative complicationup to 1 month after surgeryBased on Clavien-Dindo classification, Grade I-V
Hospital length of stayat the day of discharge (up to 1 month after admission)Measurement of the time until discharge after surgery
Postoperative QoR-15K scorepostoperative day 1, 2, 3The minimum and maximum values of QoR-15K are 0 and 150, respectively. Higher scores mean better outcomes.
