Relationship Between Albumin/Creatine Ratio, B12, Folate, and Frailty Index

Summary

In the literature, the relationship between frailty and various blood tests such as beta-2 microglobulin, CRP, procalcitonin, vitamin D, IL-1, and IL-6 has been investigated (2). In our study, the investigators aim to investigate the relationship between frailty status assessed using frailty scale forms (Frailty Scale Version 9, Quality of Life Scale Short Form-36) and preoperative levels of Albumin/Creatinine, B12, Folate, Ferritin, hemogram, Sedimentation Rate, and CRP in patients undergoing gastrointestinal malignancy surgery. By identifying the relationship among these parameters, the investigators believe that modifiable factors contributing to frailty in patients at risk can be addressed through appropriate interventions.
