About

As individuals age, they often enter a phase of increased "frailty." Elderly and frail patients represent a population that requires heightened sensitivity and close monitoring during surgical procedures. This study aims to investigate the relationship between the Hemoglobin-to-Red Blood Cell Distribution Width (Hb/RDW) ratio and perioperative hypothermia in elderly patients undergoing transurethral prostatectomy. This is an observational study. Preoperative blood test results and intraoperative body temperature measurements of the patients will be recorded in our data forms.
