Preoperative glucose in surgical oncology patient is not associated with postoperative outcomes after adjustment for frailty.

Poor outcomes following cancer surgery in older adults with elevated glucose are most likely related to poorer overall health in these patients rather than a direct causal effect of glucose. Aggressive glycemic management in the preoperative period has very limited potential benefits and is therefore unwarranted.
