Postoperative outcomes in older patients living with frailty and multimorbidity in the UK: SNAP-3, a snapshot observational study - PubMed SNAP-3 highlights the impact of frailty on postoperative outcomes. Multimorbidity had less impact, with an effect on postoperative morbidity the only one to have strong statistical evidence. The impac...

SNAP3 has just published looking at the impact of frailty and multimorbidity on outcomes after surgery in a whole UK sample of older patients. #AnSky #GeriSky #SurgSky @rcoanews.bsky.social @rcoa-cri.bsky.social @gerisoc.bsky.social @bjajournals.bsky.social @claireswarbrick.bsky.social

The #SNAP3 team are pleased to share our new publication on post-op outcomes in older patients with frailty & multimorbidity.

Findings support universal frailty screening & more meaningful shared decision making. ow.ly/YWR350VZ4p7

#AnSky UK anaesthesia folks. Are any of the resident research networks and / or anaesthetic departments reappearing on here? Don’t be shy - give us a wave if you’re here.

Thank you @iainmoppett.bsky.social for this really helpful summary thread of the first major publication from SNAP-3. We are really grateful to all the local investigators and patients who contributed the study, thank you!
