Call for Papers: Surgical Care of the Aging Population

During 2013, we are soliciting manuscripts on the surgical care of the aging population. The editorial board has selected this topic as our year-long theme. We are interested in papers that focus on the field of geriatric surgery (on the decision whether to operate on elderly patients, what operation to perform, and which approach to take). Any manuscript using a clinical trial methodology to evaluate comparative effectiveness in the surgical care of the aging population will be appreciated. Accepted manuscripts will be given priority publication. Please indicate in your cover letter that your manuscript is to be considered for this theme.

Society Affiliation

JAMA Surgery is pleased to announce that it is now the official publication for the Association of VA Surgeons.
