TSC members Anthony P. Marsh, Ph.D., Stephen B. Kritchevsky, Ph.D., W. Jack Rejeski, Ph.D. and Leanne Groban, M.D., M.S. contributed to the development of a preoperative self-reported mobility assessment tool. The tool predicted early postoperative complications, hospital length of stay, and discharge to a nursing home in older patients scheduled for elective noncardiac surgery. The study was highlighted by Tech Times.

The study, Self-reported Mobility in Older Patients Predicts Early Postoperative Outcomes after Elective Noncardiac Surgery, is published in the journal Anesthesiology.
