U.S., May 24 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06988176) titled 'Frailty and Muscle Strength Tests in Older Adults Undergoing Major Surgery' on May 15.
Brief Summary: The goal of this observational study is to learn if simple tests for frailty and muscle strength can help predict which older adults (age 65 and older) are at higher risk for problems after major abdominal surgery.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Do measures of frailty and muscle strength, taken before surgery, predict complications after surgery?
* Can these tests be easily done during a routine pre-surgical visit?
Participants will:
* Complete brief tests measuring muscle strength, breathing strength, physical func...
