RAPT and AM-PAC "6-Clicks": Do They Correlate on Predicting Discharge Destination After Total Joint Arthroplasty?

ABSTRACT: Background: The Risk Assessment and Prediction Tool (RAPT) and the Activity Measure for Post-Acute Care "6-Clicks" Mobility Score (AM-PAC) are validated discharge planning tools for patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Planning for discharge with these tools considers very different factors and it is important to determine if they relate. Purpose: We sought to determine whether the preoperative RAPT score would correlate with postoperative AM-PAC score for predicting discharge destination for THA and TKA populations. Secondarily, we sought to examine whether the AM-PAC and RAPT scores would remain statistically significant predictors of discharge destination despite covariates. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was per
