Abstract Background Older adults undergoing emergency abdominal surgery have significantly poorer outcomes than younger adults. For those who survive, the level of care required on discharge from hospital is unknown and such information could guide decision-making. The ELF (Emergency Laparotomy Frailty) study aimed to determine whether preoperative frailty in older was associated with increased dependence at time discharge. Methods a UK-wide multicentre prospective cohort patients (65 years...
