Frailty Assessments for Risk Assessment in Gynecologic Oncology Patients (NCT05738252)
Frailty Assessments for Risk Assessment in Gynecologic Oncology Patients Undergoing Surgery and Chemotherapy
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
FARGO is a prospective cohort study that aims to determine the performance of preoperative frailty assessment based on the Frailty Phenotype (FP), compared to a perioperative cardiovascular risk assessment based on the combination of preoperative Revised Cardiac Risk Index (RCRI), age and occurrence of myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS), in predicting the composite of all-cause death or new disability at 6 months after surgery in patients aged 55 or older. Patients will have confirmed or suspected gynecologic cancer, undergoing cytoreductive or high-risk surgery with or without chemotherapy.
