Morbidity and mortality after liver resection Running title: Morbidity and mortality after liver resection

Frailty as a predictor of morbidity and mortality in inpatient head and neck surgery.

IMPORTANCE The increasing number of elderly and comorbid patients undergoing surgical procedures raises interest in better identifying patients at increased risk of morbidity and mortality, independent of age.

METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the data from 74 ICC patients treated with surgical resection between April 2001 and July 2010. Perioperative CA19-9 (preoperative level, postoperative lowest level,...
