Elderly people (EP) have increased, as well as life expectancy at birth. In Chile there are more than 2 million 800 thousand EP, which corresponds to 1/6 of the Chilean population. The EP have a higher disease burden and mortality when facing surgery and in the postoperative period. Thus, this population frequently has longer hospital stays due to its degree of fragility, surgical complications or decompensation of its underlying pathologies, directly affecting health care systems. An inadequate preparation of the EP prior to surgery determined that the requirements of in-hospital as well as out-of-hospital care are extended, with the consequent which entails a higher cost in health. Current research underestimates the conditions of frailty and dependence in the EP. In addition, it is not routinely evaluated prior to surgery, as well as nutritional, metabolic, cognitive status and / or delirium screening is performed. There are accelerated recovery programs, which relate their interventions to specific pathologies; however, the age of the person is not taken into account. Surgical pre-habilitation interventions in the EP usually focus their efforts on physical and cardiovascular aspects, not including an integrative pre-surgical evaluation. Based on the foregoing, a prospective, interventional, longitudinal and randomized study has been proposed in a population of the EP who will undergo elective urology and coloproctology surgeries in two university hospitals (private and public). The objective of this study is to evaluate how the implementation of a timely pre-surgical conditioning (APO) protocol for frail elderly people reduces the days of hospital stay. The APO considers the most relevant aspects of physical and cardiovascular pre-habilitation, in addition to contemplating evaluations of frailty, dependence, cognitive status, screening for delirium, nutritional and metabolic.

Primary | Length of hospital stay | Reduction of length of hospital stay in terms of days after surgery of frail elderly enrolled in the control and intervention arm. | Average of 5 to Days of hospital stay until discharge after surgery | |
Primary | Change of the degree of the frailty in the elderly patients during the perioperative process | Change from Baseline in the degree of preoperative frailty in the elderly patients in both arms with Frail Scale 0= Robust, 1= Pre - Frail, 3-5 = Frail; Fried phenotype of frailty 0= Robust, 1= Pre - Frail, 3-5 = Frail and Clinical Frail Scale 1 to 9, 1 is very fit and 9 is a terminal patients. | One month before surgery, the 1 day of the surgery up to 3 months after discharge. | |
Primary | Change of the nutritional and metabolic status in the elderly patients during the perioperative process | Change from Baseline in the nutritional and metabolic status in the in the elderly patients in both arms measure with the Mini Nutritional Assessment scale.
12-14 points: Normal nutritional status 8-11 points: At risk of malnutrition 0-7 points: Malnourished |
One month before surgery, the 1 day of the surgery up to 3 months after discharge. | |
Primary | Assessment functional independence in the elderly patients preoperative and postoperative | Assessment functional independence with the Barthel Index for Activities of Daily Living. 0 to 100. 0 is Totally dependent and 100 totally independent | One month before surgery, the 1 day of the surgery up to 3 months after discharge. | |
Primary | Change of the cardiorespiratory and muscular system in the elderly patients during the perioperative process | Change from Baseline of the cardiorespiratory and muscular system in the elderly patients before and after surgery with Short Physical Performance Battery (Score 0 - 12, 0 = lower physical performance and 12 = higher physical performance); 6 Minute Walk Test (ranges from 400 to 700 m, the main predictor variables being gender, age and height) or 2 minute step Test (record the total number of times the right knee reaches the tape level in two minutes. The recommended ranges for this test based on age groups from Jones & Rikli, 2002). | One month before surgery, the 1 day of the after surgery up to 3 days post surgery. | |
Secondary | Change of the cognitive state in the elderly patients during the perioperative process | Change of the cognitive state in the elderly patients during the perioperative process with Mini Cog test (0-2 points indicates positive screen for dementia and 3-5 points indicates negative screen for dementia); AD8 (0 to 8, and over 2 is positive for dementia), and/or MoCA test (scores range between 0 and 30. A score of 26 or over is considered to be normal). | One month before surgery, the 1 day of the surgery up to 3 months after discharge. | |
Secondary | Identify the appearance during the perioperative process of the delirum in the elderly patients | Identify the appearance during the perioperative process of the delirum in the elderly patients with Confusion assessment method (CAM), CAM=negative is delirium absent and CAM=positive is delirum present, the same for CAM-Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU) CAM-ICU=negative is delirium absent and CAM-ICU=positive is delirum present. | 1 day before surgery and every day every 12 hours post surgery until discharge | |
