Among the 167 patients included, the mean (SD) age was 86\u2009(5) years, and mean (SD) Clinical Frailty Scale score was 5\u2009(1). While not statistically different, DAOH were about 1 month (28 days; 95% CI, \u22127 to 62) greater for patients managed conservatively (312 days; 95% CI, 289 to 335) vs patients managed invasively (284 days; 95% CI, 255 to 311;\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009.12). A sensitivity analysis stratified by sex did not show differences.
