Key PointsQuestionWhat patient factors are associated with perioperative advance care planning (ACP) documentation among older surgical patients (65 years and older) at risk of postoperative complications? FindingsIn this cohort study, perioperative ACP rates were low among all groups; however, rates were lower among men and patients who recorded a non-English preferred language. Patients with Medicare were more likely to have ACP. MeaningThe findings in this study indicate that older surgical patients tended not to have ACP documentation, a practice that should be encouraged in this population; moreover, when addressing ACP for surgical patients, particular attention should be paid to overcoming language-related disparities.
