Global Poorer Olfaction, Frailty and Postoperative Adverse Outcomes: Exploring Their Interplay in a Prospective Cohort of Older Adults Undergoing Elective Surgery
Olfactory dysfunction has emerged as a marker of neurodegeneration and frailty in older adults, yet its value for perioperative risk stratification remains underexplored. This prospective study aimed to assess the interplay between three olfactory modalities (Threshold, Discrimination, Identification: TDI), baseline frailty, and postoperative outcomes in older patients undergoing surgery.
