The relation between Age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index and gastric cancer survival

Age-Adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index Scores as Predictor of Survival in Colorectal Cancer Patients Who Underwent Surgical Resection and Chemoradiation

We studied the effect of Age-Adjusted Comorbidity Index Score in colorectal cancer patients who underwent similarly aggressive treatment. Using the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan, we identified 5643 patients with colorectal cancer who underwent surgical resection and chemoradiation from 2007 through 2011. We estimated survival according to Age-Adjusted Comorbidity Index S...

Correction: Adjusted Age-Adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index Score as a Risk Measure of Perioperative Mortality before Cancer Surgery

BACKGROUND Identification of patients at risk of death from cancer surgery should aid in preoperative preparation. The purpose of this study is to assess and adjust the age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index (ACCI) to identify cancer patients with increased risk of perioperative mortality. METHODS We identified 156,151 patients undergoing surgery for one of the ten common cancers between 200...

Charlson Comorbidity Index

Interaction between parathyroid hormone and the Charlson comorbidity index on survival of incident haemodialysis patients.

BACKGROUND Haemodialysis patients are ageing and have with a high rate of comorbidities. The impact of this novel clinical setting on intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) is not well established. METHODS For this observational, prospective multicentre cohort study, incident haemodialysis patients were recruited in 40 Italian centres and followed up for a mean period of 18 +/- 6.7 months. Clinica...

Modified Charlson comorbidity index for predicting survival after liver transplantation.

The benefit of liver transplantation (LT) is determined not only by the severity of illness, but also by the likelihood of posttransplantation survival. Current models are unable to accurately predict which patients will have the best posttransplant survival. We hypothesized that the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), which includes nine comorbidities, could be used to predict survival after LT....
