This study is looking at how to better prepare and care for older adults who are having digestive endoscopy procedures (a camera test of the stomach or colon). Researchers want to understand which older patients are more fragile or frail, and how this affects their safety and recovery during these common outpatient procedures. By studying about 1,474 older adults, the team hopes to create better guidelines for caring for vulnerable patients in endoscopy units.
As people age, some become more fragile or frail — meaning they are more vulnerable to complications from medical procedures and have weaker recovery. Right now, doctors don't have a clear, standard way to identify these fragile patients before digestive endoscopy. This study aims to fill that gap by learning how often frailty occurs in this patient group and how it affects their outcomes, so doctors can provide better, safer care.

If you join this study, a nurse trained in geriatric care will call you before your scheduled endoscopy to ask you questions about your health, daily activities, and any medical conditions you have. This phone call typically takes 20–30 minutes. You will then have your digestive endoscopy as planned, and the research team will note any complications or results. There are no additional visits or procedures — the study simply gathers information to understand how frailty affects outcomes in older adults having these routine procedures.
