Comparison of Multidimensional Frailty Instruments for Estimation of Long-term Patient-Centered Outcomes After Cardiac Surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Little is known about the performance of available frailty instruments in estimating patient-relevant outcomes after cardiac surgery.

Objective

To examine how well the Johns Hopkins Adjusted Clinical Groups (ACG) frailty indicator, the Hospital Frailty Risk Score (HFRS), and the Preoperative Frailty Index (PFI) estimate long-term patient-centered outcomes after cardiac surgery.

Design, setting, and participants

This retrospective cohort study was conducted in Ontario, Canada, among residents 18 years and older who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting or aortic, mitral or tricuspid valve, or thoracic aorta surgery between October 2008 and March 2017. Long-term care residents, those with discordant surgical encounters, and those receiving dialysis or dep
