Summary

Aging is a universal and progressive physiological phenomenon clinically characterized by degenerative changes in both the structure and the functional capacity of organs and tissues. A comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) has now become a standard assessment for caring for the elderly. CGA is a multidisciplinary team with the goal of improving the overall well-being of the elderly. It encompasses screening, diagnosis and treatment of the elderly. In this study, we use the comprehensive geriatric assessment to study the effects of surgery and anesthesia on elderly patients.
