Frailty has been shown to be a predictor of adverse postoperative outcomes. This study aims to evaluate a 5-item frailty index (5-iFI) as a predictor of complications as well as healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) following adrenalectomy.
All adrenalectomy cases recorded in the ACS-NSQIP database from 2015 to 2018 were analyzed. Primary outcomes of interest were Clavien-Dindo [CD] I/II or CD IV complications and HCRU. HCRU outcomes were prolonged length of stay (PLOS), discharge to continued care (DCC), and unplanned 30-day readmission (UR).
4358 patients were included. Higher 5-iFI scores were associated with higher rates of CDI/II, CDIV, and increased HCRU (p < 0.05). On multivariate analysis, 5-iFI scores were found to be independent predictors of adverse clinical and HCRU outcomes.
Frailty tools like the 5i-FI can be useful in preoperative risk-benefit analysis, patient counseling, and planning prehabilitation interventions.
虚弱已被证明是术后不良结局的预测因素。本研究旨在评估 5 项虚弱指数(5-iFI)作为肾上腺切除术术后并发症和医疗保健资源利用(HCRU)的预测指标。
分析了 2015 年至 2018 年 ACS-NSQIP 数据库中记录的所有肾上腺切除术病例。主要观察指标为 Clavien-Dindo [CD] I/II 或 CD IV 并发症和 HCRU。HCRU 结果包括延长住院时间(PLOS)、转至持续护理(DCC)和计划外 30 天再入院(UR)。
纳入 4358 例患者。较高的 5-iFI 评分与更高的 CDI/II、CDIV 发生率和增加的 HCRU 相关(p<0.05)。多变量分析显示,5-iFI 评分是不良临床和 HCRU 结局的独立预测指标。
虚弱工具,如 5i-FI,可以在术前风险效益分析、患者咨询和计划康复干预中发挥作用。
