ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Studies have demonstrated correlations between frailty and comorbidity scores with adverse outcomes in total knee replacement (TKR). However, there is a lack of consensus on the most suitable pre-operative assessment tool. This study aims to compare Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS), Modified Frailty Index (MFI), and Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) in predicting adverse post-operative complications and functional outcomes following a unilateral TKR.METHODS:
In total, 811 unilateral TKR patients from a tertiary hospital were identified. Pre-operative variables were age, gender, body mass index (BMI), American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class, CFS, MFI, and CCI. Binary logistic regression analysis was performed to ascertain odd ratios of pre-operative variables on adverse post-operative complications (length of stay < LOS >, complications, ICU/HD admission, discharge location, 30-day readmission, 2-year reoperation). Multiple linear regression analyses were used to estimate the standardized effects of pre-operative variables on the Knee Society Functional Score (KSFS), Knee Society Knee Score (KSKS), Oxford Knee Score (OKS), and 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36).RESULTS:
CFS is a strong predictor for LOS (OR 1.876, p < 0.001), complications (OR 1.83-4.97, p < 0.05), discharge location (OR 1.84, p < 0.001), and 2-year reoperation rate (OR 1.98, p < .001). ASA and MFI were predictors for ICU/HD admission (OR4.04, p = 0.002; OR 1.58, p = 0.022, respectively). None of the scores was predictive for 30-day readmission. A higher CFS was associated with a worse outcome for 6-month KSS, 2-year KSS, 6-month OKS, 2-year OKS, and 6-month SF-36.CONCLUSION:
CFS is a superior predictor for post-operative complications and functional outcomes than MFI and CCI in unilateral TKR patients. This suggests the importance of assessing pre-operative functional status when planning for TKR. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Diagnostic, II.Mots clés
