5-mFI is more accurate than ASA score in predicting postoperative mortality in rectal cancer: A case series of 109 patients.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of 5-mFI (modified frailty index) to ASA score (American Society of Anesthesiologists score) in predicting postoperative mortality in patients with rectal cancer.

Materials and methods

The ability of each parameter to predict postoperative mortality was attested in 2 ways: Area under the curve (AUC) was determined using ROC curves analysis. A comparison of AUC was performed using Delong test and Henley-McNeil test.-Multivariate analysis to determine the weight of each variable in predicting postoperative mortality.

Results

The records of 109 patients undergoing surgical resection, for curative intent, for rectal cancer, were analyzed. Nine patients died during the 30-day postoperative period (8.25%). The o
