Relationship Between Hand Dynamometer Measurements, PFT, and mFI With Postoperative Outcomes

Hand grip strength will be measured using a hand dynamometer. Research has demonstrated that hand grip strength is correlated with muscle strength in the upper extremities, as well as overall body and pulmonary muscle strength.

Spirometry is a physiological test that measures the ability to inhale and exhale air relative to time. Spirometry is a diagnostic test of several common respiratory disperses such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is also instrumental in monitoring the progression of various respiratory disorders. The main results of spirometry are forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume exhaled in the first second (FEV1), and the FEV1/FVC ratio. Pulmonary Function Test analysis values (FEV1, FVC and FEV1 /FVC) will be used.

The modified frailty index is a valuable preoperative risk assessment tool that can be used to assess the risk of both morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing surgery. It is calculated based on 11 parameters.
