Abstract

Abstract : (Abstracted from Anesth Analg, 123(1):186–192, 2016) In general, elderly patients (aged ≥65 years) do not fare as well as younger patients after elective surgery. Health providers are aware of a number of factors that may play a role in this situation, including sustained functional decline.
