About this trial

In the literature, the relationship between frailty and various blood tests such as beta-2 microglobulin, CRP, procalcitonin, vitamin D, IL-1, and IL-6 has been investigated (2). In our study, the investigators aim to investigate the relationship between frailty status assessed using frailty scale forms (Frailty Scale Version 9) and preoperative levels of Albumin/Creatinine, B12, Folate, Ferritin, hemogram, Sedimentation Rate, and CRP in patients undergoing gastrointestinal malignancy surgery. By identifying the relationship among these parameters, the investigators believe that modifiable factors contributing to frailty in patients at risk can be addressed through appropriate interventions.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Association between preoperative Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) score and serum albumin-to-creatinine ratio

Patients' frailty status will be assessed using the Frailty Scale Version 9.There are scores between 1 and 9 on this scale. Patients with a score of 4 or above are defined as fraile.(Association between preoperative Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) score and serum albumin-to-creatinine ratio.)

Time frame
one day before surgery

Secondary outcomes

1

Association between preoperative Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) score and B12 levels

B12 concentration will be measured

Time frame
one day before surgery
2

Association between preoperative Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) score and Folate levels

Folate concentration will be measured

Time frame
one day before surgery
3

Association between preoperative Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) score and iron levels

Serum iron concentration will be measured.

Time frame
one day before surgery
4

Association between preoperative Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) score and Hemoglobin/RDW ratio.

Hemoglobin/RDW ratio will be measured.

Time frame
one day before surgery
