Background: The number of elderly patients with esophageal cancer is expected to increase. We aimed to determine the postoperative outcomes of esophagectomy for esophageal cancer in elderly patients.Material and methods: A retrospective, population-based analysis was performed using the National inpatient sample for the period 2000-2014. Adult patients >= 18 years old (yo) diagnosed with esophageal cancer who underwent esophagectomy during their inpatient hospitalization were included. Patients were categorized into = 70 yo. Multivariable linear and logistic regressions were used to assess the potential effect of age on postoperative complications, inpatient mortality, and hospital charges.Results: Overall, 5243 patients were included, with 3699 (70.6%) 70 yo. The yearly rate of esophagectomies among patients >70 yo did not significantly changed during the study period (28.4% in 2000 and 26.3% in 2014, P = 0.76). Elderly patients were significantly more likely to have postoperative cardiac failure (odds ratio 1.59, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.21, 2.09, P = 0.0009) and inpatient mortality (odds ratio 1.84, 95% CI 1.39, 2.45, P < 0.0001). Among the elderly patients, hospital charges were, on average, $16,320 greater (95% CI $3110, $29,530) than patients
