The Geriatric 8 (G8)score ≤ 14 which were frail group in 73 cases (70.2%) The Clavien-Dindo complications grade III-IV were 30 patients (28.8%). Among these groups, 26 patients (86.7%) was in frail groups and 4 patients (13.3%) with non frail group which is statistically significant different (p=0.019) and Odd ratio of 3.32, CI =1.01-10.87, p=0.048ConclusionThe G8 score is a practical tool for prediction post operative complication in elderly Head and Neck Cancer surgery. |
