Researchers are conducting a prospective observational study to understand frailty in patients over 70 years old undergoing outpatient digestive endoscopy. The study aims to determine how common frailty is, how severe it is, and how it affects the success and safety of endoscopic procedures. This research will help create care protocols to improve outcomes and reduce complications in frail patients during endoscopy. Participants are patients aged over 70 who are referred for either upper or lower digestive endoscopy. Frailty will be assessed using validated questionnaires via telephone interviews conducted by trained nurses. Data on patient demographics, comorbidities, frailty scores, endoscopy preparation, and procedure details will be collected. The study will track complications during and after endoscopy, as well as the effectiveness and cost of the procedures. Throughout the study, participants will be monitored for relevant adverse events requiring medical attention up to 30 days after their endoscopy. Information about preparation quality, procedure complications, and clinical impact will be gathered from medical records. Researchers will analyze how frailty relates to these outcomes, helping to identify ways to improve care for older, frail patients undergoing digestive endoscopy.
