In conclusion, our findings in a retrospective cohort of elderly surgical patients revealed high prevalence of co-morbidities, predominance of ASA-PS II or ASA-PS III classes and an overall in-hospital mortality rate of 12.2%. Emergency as compared with elective surgery seems to be associated with older age, male gender, ASA-PS III and IV classes, higher likelihood of postoperative ICU transfer and higher mortality rates.
