                  Abstract

                  Introduction: Elderly patients have higher rates of morbidity and mortality during hospitalizations, diagnostic and surgical procedures. In order to improve the quality of care for the elderly, the APOIO (Preoperative Assessment of Elderly and Care Guidance) protocol was created, a tool to measure the risks of surgical complications.

                  Objective: To evaluate the impact of APOIO on several outcomes, in order to validate it as a useful vehicle in the prevention of perioperative complications in elderly patients with fractures.

                  Method: Retrospective cross-sectional study through review of 218 medical records of elderly patients hospitalized for fractures, and with surgical indication, having collected data on sex, age, reason for hospitalization, type of fracture, indication or not of surgical treatment, evaluation or not by APOIO, indication or not of ICU in the postoperative period, length of ICU stay, total length of hospitalization, immediate outcome and outcome within 30 days after the operation.

                  Result: It was found that the application of APOIO was associated with a 70% reduction in the chances of death during hospitalization (p=0.040), length of stay in the ICU (p<0.001) and total length of hospital stay (p = 0.010). There was also a trend towards a reduction in the death rate within 30 days of the postoperative period (p = 0.117).

                  Conclusion: The application of the APOIO tool reduces the length of hospitalization, optimizes indication and length of stay in the ICU and, also, reduces the risk of death in elderly people undergoing surgical treatment for fractures.
