The LACE+ index as a predictor of 30-day patient outcomes in a urologic surgery population: A coarsened exact match study

Urology Oct 11, 2019

Glauser G, Winter E, Caplan IF, et al. - Seven hundred and twenty-two individuals were matched for Q1-Q4, 1,120 for Q2-Q4 and 2,550 for Q3-Q4 in order to investigate the potential of LACE+ scores, in patients who underwent urologic surgery, to prognosticate short-term unwanted outcomes. Raising LACE+ score significantly prognosticated extended readmission and Emergency Room (ER) visits at 30 days postop. Within 30 days, the heightening LACE score did not prognosticate reoperation or within 30 postoperative days, rate of death over follow-up. Hence, the results of this study propose that in a urologic surgery population including unanticipated readmission and ER assessment, the LACE+ index is fit to be a prediction model for superior patient outcomes.
