The G8 was used to screen for vulnerability prior to surgery. Patients were deemed vulnerable if they had a total G8 score \u226414 according to published guidelines. Data were also collected on demographic characteristics, tumor staging, post-operative course, and tracheostomy and feeding tube (FT) status.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Ninety patients were consecutively screened during the study period. Using the G8, 64% of the patients were deemed vulnerable. Vulnerable patients differed significantly from non-vulnerable patients with regard to age, health, tumor stage, and baseline dysphagia, and underwent more extensive surgery. Postoperatively, vulnerable patients had a significantly longer hospital length of stay (LOS; 10.17 vs 5.50\u2009days, respectively, P\u2009&lt;\u2009.001), were less likely to discharge home (76% vs 94%, P\u2009=\u2009.044), and were more likely to be FT dependent for over a month (54% vs 21%, P\u2009=\u2009.006) compared to non-vulnerable patients. In regression models, controlling for T-stage and surgical variables, the G8 independently predicted 2 post-operative outcomes of interest, namely LOS and FT dependency.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The G8 may be a useful screening tool for identifying older adults at risk of a protracted postoperative medical course after HNC surgery.
