Predicting adverse outcomes after total hip arthroplasty: A comparison of demographics, the American Society of Anesthesiologists Class, the modified Charlson Comorbidity Index, and the modified Frailty Index
Journal of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons Oct 12, 2018
Ondeck NT, et al. - Authors sought to compare the predictive ability of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class, modified Charlson Comorbidity Index, modified Frailty Index, and demographic characteristics for general health complications following total hip arthroplasty (THA). Comorbidity indices and demographics from National Surgical Quality Improvement Program THA patients were evaluated for discriminative ability in predicting adverse outcomes. A greater predictivity of perioperative adverse outcomes for THA was seen with effortlessly obtained patient ASA and age vs the more complex and numerically tabulated modified Charlson Comorbidity Index and modified Frailty Index.
