Perioperative telemonitoring of older adults with cancer: Can we connect them all? 2020-09-04 .txt text/plain 3935 186 37 MATERIAL AND METHODS: This is a retrospective analysis of a prospective cohort study with older patients (≥ 65 years) undergoing cancer-related surgery, who were identified for a perioperative telemonitoring study. This study is a retrospective analysis of a prospective cohort study with older patients undergoing cancer-related surgery, who were identified for a perioperative telemonitoring study (Netherlands trial registration number: NL 8253) [19] . The twelve patients who were discharged to an SNF were significantly older (mean age 79.0 versus 73.6 years old [p = 0.01]), had a higher ASA classification (ASA 3-4 58% versus 29% [p = 0.05]), used more medication (% polypharmacy 92% versus 50% [p = 0.00]) and were more often living alone or in a nursing home before surgery (50% versus 30%, 17% versus 0% [p = 0.00]). The main barriers to older adults' participation in a perioperative telemonitoring study were lack of internet access at home, digital illiteracy, and a perceived high mental burden. ./cache/cord-281344-iswbgqqe.txt ./txt/cord-281344-iswbgqqe.txt
