Sarcopenia as a Preoperative Risk Stratification Tool Among Older Adults with Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Description: Project Narrative As the IBD patient population is aging, the development of preoperative risk stratification tools is becoming increasingly important. Without such tools, surgical planning is often delayed in favor of prolonged periods of suboptimal and potentially harmful therapies. This research will help to determine the optimal measure and predictive value of sarcopenia among older adults undergoing IBD-related surgery.
