Mortalidad, Anciano, Procedimientos Quirúrgicos Operativos; Factores de Riesgo, factores de riesgoResumen
El adulto mayor, con frecuencia frágil, es un paciente susceptible a un sinnúmero de complicaciones, tanto inmediatas como a corto, mediano y largo plazo, posterior a una intervención quirúrgica. En función de las comorbilidades presentadas, se debe hacer un abordaje integral para alcanzar el mejor estado orgánico previo a la cirugía e intentar mantenerlo
durante y posterior a la intervención. Considerar la fuerza estadística de los desenlaces negativos y, específicamente, dela mortalidad en adultos mayores sometidos a cirugía mayor, es verdaderamente un reto. Incluso, esto trasciende a otros
campos como la bioética, al plantearse un dilema sobre la distanasia, cuando se recurre a ciertas intervenciones riesgosas
en aquellos con un pronóstico de vida temeroso. Recientemente, se ha publicado evidencia interesante que ha estimado la incidencia, riesgo de mortalidad y factores asociados a desenlaces negativos en adultos mayores sometidos a cirugía mayor, planteando posibles modificaciones en los algoritmos de toma de decisiones en futuras guías de práctica clínica en cirugía. El objetivo de esta revisión consiste en analizar evidencia actualizada sobre qué factores de riesgo impactarían más sobre
desenlaces negativos y mortalidad en el adulto mayor sometido a cirugía mayor. Se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica utilizando los términos de búsqueda “Cirugía Mayor” y “Adulto Mayor”, además de sinónimos, en las bases de datos PubMed, ScienceDirect, Web of Science y MEDLINE. En cirugía general y subespecialidades, es muy complejo determinar factores de riesgo precisos y extrapolables a todos los escenarios quirúrgicos, debido a la complejidad y especificidad de ciertos órganos y procedimientos. Existe evidencia sobre adultos frágiles que son sometidos a cirugía por cáncer colorrectal, metástasis hepática, cáncer de pulmón, enfermedad pancreática y cáncer esofágico, en donde se registra una mayor estancia hospitalaria; y de forma general, la mortalidad es mayor en aquellos sometidos a cirugía oncológica. No obstante, tanto la integridad física como mental se asocian con peores desenlaces, y la prehabilitación quirúrgica podría impactar de manera positiva sobre esta situación, al mejorar la reserva funcional y tiempo de recuperación posquirúrgico.
