Gait Speed and Operative Mortality in Older Adults Following Cardiac Surgery.

TL;DR: Gait speed is an independent predictor of adverse outcomes after cardiac surgery, and can be used to refine estimates of operative risk, to support decision-making and, since incremental value is modest when used as a sole criterion for frailty, to screen older adults who could benefit from further assessment.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This work has shown that preoperative patient haracteristics and disease severity models, used to provide benchmark comparisons among roviders and to serve as the basis for public reporting and pay-for-performance reimbursement, are effective at predicting cardiac surgery outcomes.
