CHARLSON COMORBIDITY INDEX

Aprofitant el article anterior descobreixo el index de Charlson per mesurar comorbilitats i poder comparar edad amb comorbilitats... De pas un excel que ajuda a calcular-ho.

Aqui el paragraf en que es fa esmena :

General patient health at index surgery was measured using the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI). The CCI is a validated measure of burden of disease. Comorbidities are weighted from 1 to 6 for mortality risk and disease severity and then summed to form the total CCI score. Complication rates were stratified by CCI scores to analyze the association between base- line comorbidity burden and surgical complications after shoulder arthroplasty.  Rates of complications, admission for a surgical complication, and revisions were calculated for each surgical group and for combinations of surgical group and comorbidity score.
