The burden of comorbidity was quantified using the Charlson Comorbidity Index. The physiological and operative severity score for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity score (POSSUM) was used to determine operative morbidity and mortality risk.

The Lawton Instrumental Activities of Daily Living scale (IADL) was used to assess independent living skills. The Health-related Quality of Life (EQ-5D) measure health-related quality of life at 3months follow-up (M3). MoCa was applied before surgery, patients who scored
