Furthermore, the comorbidity of patients who undergo endoprosthetic surgery constitutes a significant influencing factor for the overall risk associated with the procedure (Singh 2013, Lau 2016. The American Society of Anesthesiology classification (ASA classification system) has been used to estimate patients« perioperative risks for a long time.…”
