Abstract

AbstractObjectiveTo evaluate the impact of age and frailty on 30‐day outcomes following surgery for oral squamous cavity carcinoma (OSCC).Study DesignRetrospective cross‐sectional analysis.SettingAmerican College of Surgeons' National Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database.MethodsPatients who underwent OSCC resection were queried via NSQIP (2015‐2020). Cases were stratified by age (18‐65, 65‐75, and older than 75) as well as by modified frailty index scores (mFI 0, mFI 1, and mFI 2+) for comparative analyses. Univariate and multivariable analyses were conducted to examine demographics, perioperative outcomes, and 30‐day postoperative adverse events.ResultsA total of 3238 patients who underwent OSCC surgery were identified and categorized as nongeriatric (“NGA,” age 18‐65), younger geriatric (“YGA,” age 65‐75), and older geriatric (“OGA,” age >75) adults. Compared to NGA, geriatric patients had higher the American Society of Anesthesiologists classification, higher modified frailty index scores, and more comorbidities such as hypertension, congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive disease, and diabetes (p < .001). YGAs and OGAs were also less likely to undergo neck dissection (p < .001), composite resection (p = .006), and free flap reconstruction compared to NGAs (p < .001). When controlling for confounders, age was not independently associated with an increased risk of poor outcomes. On the other hand, frailty was found to be independently associated with a higher risk of adverse events (odds ratio: 1.40 [1.15‐1.70], p < .001 for mFI 1, odds ratio: 1.45 [1.04‐2.02], p = .027 for mFI 2+).ConclusionA higher mFI score, not older age, is associated with an increased risk of 30‐day complications following OSCC surgery.
