Association of Geriatric Comanagement and 90-Day Postoperative Mortality Among Patients Aged 75 Years and Older With Cancer

Key Points Question Is collaboration between geriatricians and surgeons in the perioperative care of older patients with cancer associated with postoperative outcomes? Findings In this cohort study including 1892 patients aged 75 years and older, the adjusted probability of death within 90 days after surgery was 4.3% for patients who received geriatric comanagement of care, compared with 8.9% for patients who received care management from the surgical service only. Meaning These findings suggest that when feasible, older patients undergoing surgical treatment for cancer should receive geriatric care comanagement as part of their perioperative care.
