摘要
IMPORTANCE Functional status and physiologic deficits independent of age are being recognized for surgical risk stratification. Frailty is expressed as a combination of decreased physiologic reserve and multisystem impairments distinct from normal aging processes. OBJECTIVE To assess the predictive value of the Modified Frailty Index (mFI) for Clavien-Dindo grade IV (CDIV) (intensive care unit-level complications) and grade V (mortality) after major head and neck oncologic surgery. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program data. All major head and neck cancer operations data were obtained from the January 1, 2006, to December 31, 2013, American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program databases. Fifteen variables composed a previously validated mFI, with higher mFIs identifying more frail patients. Clavien-Dindo grade IV and mortality were defined using a preexisting mapping scheme from the Canadian Study of Health and Aging. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary outcome measures were Clavien-Dindo Grade IV critical care complications and Grade V complications (mortality). Second outcomes included morbidity, readmission, and reoperation. RESULTS There were 1193 major head and neck operations in the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program databases, with 86 (7.2%) CDIV complications. The mean (SD) age of all patients was 63.4 (12.4) years, and 67.7%(807 of 1193) were male. Clavien-Dindo grade IV significantly increased from 4.6%(22 of 483) to 100% (1 of 1) from nonfrail to the frailest patients (R-2 = 0.79, P < .001). Mortality increased with the mFI (but not significantly) from 0.8%(4 of 483) to 3.6%(2 of 55) (R-2 = 0.46, P = .42). Overall morbidity was not significantly associated or correlated with the mFI. On cross tabulation, increases in the mFI led to more CDIV complications in patients undergoing glossectomy (P = .03), mandibulectomy (P = .02), or laryngectomy (P = .002). Patients undergoing pharyngectomy or esophagectomy did not have significant increases in CDIV complications by the mFI. The coefficients of determination for each category were R-2 = 0.62 for glossectomy, R-2 = 0.72 for mandibulectomy, R-2 = 0.97 for laryngectomy, R-2 = 0.94 for pharyngectomy, and R-2 = 1.00 for esophagectomy. On multivariable analysis, the mFI was associated with CDIV complications (odds ratio, 1.65; 95% CI, 1.15-2.37) but not mortality (odds ratio, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.34-1.76). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE The mFI is predictive of postoperative critical care support after surgery for head and neck cancer. Specifically, increases in mFIs were strongly associated with CDIV complications for glossectomy, mandibulectomy, and laryngectomy. Classifying patients by their functional status using the mFI may help predict outcomes after head and neck oncologic surgery.
