Effects of Preoperative Frailty on Postoperative Recovery

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This study aims to evaluate frailty using Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) before surgery and find out how frailty affects short-term postoperative recovery after surgery using Quality of Recovery-15 (QOR-15) questionnaire in patients undergoing minimally invasive distal gastrectomy for early gastric cancer.

Detailed Description
-----------------
As the elderly population increases, the evaluation and management of preoperative frailty is becoming important. In patients with frailty, exposure to external stress, such as surgery, can reduce physical function, increase postoperative complication, and raise the risk of death. This study aims to evaluate frailty using an automated device performing SPPB (Andantefit) and find out how frailty affects postoperative recovery.

Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Poor postoperative outcome (the Korean version of Quality of Recovery-15 [QoR-15K] < 122) | The minimum and maximum values of QoR-15K are 0 and 150, respectively. Higher scores mean better outcomes. | on postoperative day 3 | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Poor postoperative outcome (the Korean version of Quality of Recovery-15 [QoR-15K] < 122) | The minimum and maximum values of QoR-15K are 0 and 150, respectively. Higher scores mean better outcomes. | on postoperative day 1 | 
| Poor postoperative outcome (the Korean version of Quality of Recovery-15 [QoR-15K] < 122) | The minimum and maximum values of QoR-15K are 0 and 150, respectively. Higher scores mean better outcomes. | on postoperative day 2 |
