Popis:	Background: The aim of the present paper was to propose a general assessment system for elderly patients undergoing surgical operations. Methods: A protocol was designed to compare preoperative comorbidities and post-operative complications. Results: When the data from 51 consecutive elderly patients (≥ 65 years) were applied to the protocol and analyzed by chi-squared test and Cox proportional hazards regression models, left ventricular hypertrophy and myocardial ischemia on electrocardiogram (ECG) were revealed to be significantly associated with development of postoperative complications (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The current results serve as a basic data to design an assessment system to predict the prognosis of surgical patients.
