ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The Duke Activity Status Index (DASI) questionnaire might help incorporate self-reported functional capacity into preoperative risk assessment. Nonetheless, prognostically important thresholds in DASI scores remain unclear. We conducted a nested cohort analysis of the Measurement of Exercise Tolerance before Surgery (METS) study to characterise the association of preoperative DASI scores with postoperative death or complications.METHODS:
The analysis included 1546 participants (≥40 yr of age) at an elevated cardiac risk who had inpatient noncardiac surgery. The primary outcome was 30-day death or myocardial injury. The secondary outcomes were 30-day death or myocardial infarction, in-hospital moderate-to-severe complications, and 1 yr death or new disability. Multivariable logistic regression modelling was used to characterise the adjusted association of preoperative DASI scores with outcomes.RESULTS:
The DASI score had non-linear associations with outcomes. Self-reported functional capacity better than a DASI score of 34 was associated with reduced odds of 30-day death or myocardial injury (odds ratio 0.97 per 1 point increase above 34; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.96-0.99) and 1 yr death or new disability (odds ratio 0.96 per 1 point increase above 34; 95% CI 0.92-0.99). Self-reported functional capacity worse than a DASI score of 34 was associated with increased odds of 30-day death or myocardial infarction (odds ratio 1.05 per 1 point decrease below 34; 95% CI 1.00-1.09), and moderate-to-severe complications (odds ratio 1.03 per 1 point decrease below 34; 95% CI 1.01-1.05).CONCLUSIONS:
A DASI score of 34 represents a threshold for identifying patients at risk for myocardial injury, myocardial infarction, moderate-to-severe complications, and new disability.Palavras-chave
