Does the ASA score have equal predictive ability compared to the Charlson Comorbidity Index score for 30-day mortality in patients after hip fracture surgery?
The ASA score may be preferred over the CCI score for predicting 30-day mortality after hip fracture surgery due to equal predictive ability and less calculation effort.
The CCI- and ASA-model had equal predictive ability of 30-day mortality after hip fracture. Considering the effort involved in calculating Charlson Comorbidity Index score, the ASA score may be the preferred tool to predict the 30-day mortality after hip fracture.
