“…Of the 83 functionally dependent patients at 30 days, 56 patients already had an mRS score $3 preoperatively. Further subgroup analyses showed that patients with a 30-day mRS score $3, in addition to more often having a preoperative mRS score $3 (P , .001), had higher preoperative ASA scores (P = .02) and Helsinki ASA scores (P = .004), 11 were older (P , .001), had higher Charlson Comorbidity Index score (P = .002) and had a longer hospital LOS (P , .001). This subgroup also had a higher proportion of malignant tumors (55.4% vs 22.8%, P , .001; OR: 4.2, 95% CI: 2.5-7.1) and a lower proportion of benign tumors (18.1% vs 34.1%, P = .006; OR: 0.4, 95% CI: 0.2-0.8).…”
