ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the prognostic utility of baseline frailty, measured by the Risk Analysis Index (RAI), for prediction of postoperative mortality among patients with spinal malignancy (SM) undergoing resection.METHODS:
SM surgery cases were queried from the American College of Surgeons - National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database (2011-2020). The relationship between preoperative RAI frailty score and increasing rate of primary endpoint (mortality or discharge to hospice within 30 days, "mortality/hospice") were assessed. Discriminatory accuracy was assessed by computation of C-statistics (with 95% confidence interval [CI]) in receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.RESULTS:
A total of 2,235 cases were stratified by RAI score 0-20, 22.7%; 21-30, 11.9%; 31-40, 54.7%; and ≥ 41, 10.7%. The rate of mortality/hospice was 6.5%, which increased linearly with increasing RAI score (p < 0.001). RAI was also associated with increasing rates of major complication, extended length of stay, and nonhome discharge (all p < 0.05). The RAI demonstrated acceptable discriminatory accuracy for prediction of primary endpoint (C-statistic, 0.717; 95% CI, 0.697-0.735). In pairwise ROC comparison, RAI demonstrated superiority versus modified frailty index-5 and chronological age (p < 0.001).CONCLUSION:
Preoperative frailty, as measured by RAI, is a robust predictor of mortality/ hospice after SM surgery. The frailty score may be applied in clinical settings using a user-friendly calculator, deployed here https//nsgyfrailtyoutcomeslab.shinyapps.io/spinalMalignancyRAI/.
