Ahmed A, et al. - The link between a pre-operative GA-GYN score, derived from a predictive model utilizing components of an abbreviated geriatric assessment (GA), and major post-operative complications was investigated in elderly women (70 years or older) with suspected ovarian, fallopian tube, primary peritoneal or advanced stage papillary serous uterine (GYN) carcinoma. In these patients, major post-operative complications were not predicted by the above mentioned pre-operative GA-GYN score. However, in a subgroup of patients with advanced staged malignant disease, a link was found between GA-GYN score and post-operative complications.
