15 How do we do better? 1.More comprehensive preoperative evaluation a. more informed selection/denial of individual patient for surgery b. modify procedure to individual patient c. entire care team better informed about individual patient 2. More compulsive perioperative care

16 How do we do better? 1.More comprehensive preoperative evaluation a. more informed selection/denial of individual patient for surgery b. modify procedure to individual patient c. entire care team better informed about individual patient Base decisions on functional age not chronologic age

24 Mini-Cog Test of Cognition

26 Screening for Depression Patient Health Questionnaire-2 (PHQ-2) 27 1.In the past 12 months, have you ever had a time when you felt sad, blue, depressed, or down for most of the time for at least two weeks? 2.In the past 12 months, have you ever had a time, lasting at least two weeks, when you didn t care about the things that you usually cared about or when you didn t enjoy the things that you usually enjoyed? Interpretation of PHQ-2 Depression If the patient answers YES to either question, then further evaluation is needed. Note: This screening test has not been validated in extremely frail elderly patients, those with severe concurrent medical illnesses, are suffering from medication side effects, or those with impaired communication skills.

29 Frailty Standardized Definition (3 or more of following criteria) 50 Criteria Definition Shrinkage Unintentional weight loss 10 pounds in past year Weakness Decreased grip strength lowest 20% at baseline, adjusted for gender and body mass index. Exhaustion Self-reported poor energy and endurance Low physical activity Frailty Weekly energy expenditure in the lowest 20 th percentile by gender. Slowness Walking speed in the lowest 20 th percentile by gender and height.

30 Nutrition Risk Factors Screening for Severe Nutritional Risk 54 Weight loss > 10 15% within 6 months BMI < 18.5 kg/m 2 Serum albumin <30 g/l (with no evidence of hepatic or renal dysfunction) Interpretation of Nutritional Screening If YES to any above criterion, then they are at severe nutritional risk.

50 How Are These Guidelines Helping? 1. Identify patients at risk 2. What to do when issues are identified

51 What To Do About Problems Identified Polypharmacy medication review Pharmacist consult Cognitive Geriatrician consult assistive devices (e.g., glasses, hearing aid) medication review alert the care team non-pharmacologic prophylaxis for delirium Nutritional Dietician consult supplements?

52 What To Do About Problems Identified Functional Physical Therapist consult assistive devices alert the care team Social Service consult (early discharge planning) prehabilitation? Frailty modify the operation alert the care team Social Service consult (early discharge planning) nutritional supplements? prehabilitation?

53 Options for Your Hospital Complete Center for Geriatric Surgery Ala Carte Choices Location of evaluation Who does the evaluation? More limited dataset (tests) Where will data reside?

54 Location of Evaluation Preoperative Testing Area Each surgeon s office/clinic Pilot project: specific specialty (e.g., Ortho, Gen Surg) Pilot project: certain large surgery group or division (e.g., private practice group, Surgical Oncology, Orthopedics)

55 Who Does the Evaluation Dedicated Geriatric Surgery Coordinator Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant Registered Nurse Nursing Assistant Surgeons themselves Surgical Resident/Fellow Medical Student

56 Limited Dataset (Tests) Frailty Mini-cog Timed up-and-go Gait speed Activities of daily living (ADL) Performance status Common already: medication reconciliation, falls risk

62 Summary Many centers have proven surgical results in the elderly equal to those in the general population, but overall age remains a risk factor Development of ACS NSQIP/AGS Best Practices How does geriatric assessment help Identify patients at risk Do something about problems identified Sinai Center for Geriatric Surgery How to operationalize at your hospital (options)
