Correlation of ASA Grade and the Charlson Comorbidity Index With Complications in Patients After Transurethral Resection of Prostate

The majority of complications (86.9%) were of grades I, II, and III, whereas grade IV was less frequent (12.1%), and, after transurethral resection of the prostate, grade V was rare (1%). Males with an ASA grade ≥3 and higher CCI scores were more likely to demonstrate a higher incidence of morbidity than males with a lower grade. However, ASA grades and CCI scores were not independent predictors of complications because of the experience of the surgeon and progress in perioperative management and operative techniques. Therefore, for patients with more comorbidities and higher CCI scores or ASA grades, active surgical intervention is still suggested.
