Summary
Brief summary
This project aims to estimate the incidence of preoperative frailty in patients undergoing minor surgery at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, and to explore the correlation between preoperative frailty and recovery from surgery. It will also explore the practicality of assessing frailty using the Edmonton Frail Scale in a preanaesthetic environment.
