Patients were stratified into elderly (\u226570 years) and non-elderly groups. Primary outcomes included 30-day mortality, 90-day mortality, 30-day readmission rate, and R0 resection rate.

The 30-day readmission rates (P\u2009=\u20090.331) and R0 resection rates (P\u2009&gt;\u20090.999) were comparable between the two groups. Secondary outcomes, including pathological complete response (P\u2009=\u20090.685), major pathological response (P\u2009=\u20090.417), post-neoadjuvant pathological tumor stage (P\u2009=\u20090.732), post-neoadjuvant pathological node stage (P\u2009=\u20090.124), and tumor regression grade (P\u2009=\u20090.081), also showed no significant differences. The rates of complications, including severe (P\u2009=\u20090.825), pulmonary (P\u2009=\u20090.314), and cardiac (P\u2009=\u20090.269) complications; anastomotic leakage (P\u2009&gt;\u20090.999); recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy (P\u2009&gt;\u20090.999); and wound complications (P\u2009&gt;\u20090.999), were similar between the two groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Elderly and non-elderly patients exhibited similar 30- and 90-day mortality, readmission, and R0 resection rates as well as comparable pathological responses and complication profiles following neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy.
