Abstract
There is a significant rate of cardiac events in this cohort. When estimating risk, a patient's total burden of comorbidities is more important than any one factor. ASA Class fails to demonstrate utility in this setting. Cardiac events have implications for quality-related metrics including length of stay and hematoma rate.
