Title: Letter to the editor: enhancing perioperative care for elderly spinal surgery patients.
Authors: Vaish, Hina
Abstract: The letter to the editor in the Asian Spine Journal discusses the challenges faced by elderly patients undergoing spinal surgery, focusing on comparing pre-old and old populations. The authors emphasize the importance of identifying age-related risk factors in surgical decision-making and suggest exploring long-term outcomes, multidisciplinary care teams, and the integration of artificial intelligence-driven predictive models to enhance perioperative care for elderly patients. The article also highlights the need to consider cultural and societal factors that can influence the management and outcomes of spinal surgeries in elderly patients, emphasizing the importance of social determinants of health. This information will be valuable for practitioners in geriatric medicine and spinal surgery.
