Clinical Trial Summary

Frailty is common in gastric cancer survivors and seriously affects their prognosis. Multiple longitudinal follow-up assessment of frailty could provide a better understanding of the frailty change of individuals. Our aims were to identify the longitudinal trajectories of frailty and estimate their association with health outcomes in elderly gastric cancer survivors.

Description:

Our study suggested the significant heterogeneity in frailty trajectories among elderly gastric cancer survivors, and that different trajectories had different effects on health outcomes. Our results infer the necessity for prevention strategies in elderly gastric cancer survivors to manage heterogeneous frailty trajectories.
