Geriatric Surgery Cohort Data on Frailty, Treatment Plans, and Survival (2020-2023)

273 patients aged 65 and older were referred for preoperative comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) between 2020 and 2023 at a dedicated clinic within a large academic center. The dataset, authored by Ran Orgad and last updated in April 2026, captures frailty status, CGA-derived recommendations, treatment plan modifications, and overall survival outcomes for older adults with gastrointestinal malignancies.

Use Cases

• Predicting treatment plan modifications based on frailty status and CGA recommendations.
• Modeling survival outcomes for older surgical oncology patients using CGA-derived variables.
• Analyzing the relationship between frailty severity and rates of surgical intervention.
• Identifying factors for goal-concordant decision-making in preoperative geriatric assessment workflows.

Strengths

• Includes 273 patient records with a median age of 82 years.
• Captures three distinct CGA-derived clinical recommendations (Fit for Treatment, Prehabilitation & Surgery, Other Intervention).
• Reports specific modification rates by frailty severity (non-frail 10%, mild–moderate 31%, severe 65%).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect temporal and institutional bias inherent to a single academic center's retrospective cohort.
