(A) American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), (B) Lee, and (C) Eagle risk indices. Each panel shows the area under the receiver operator characteristics (ROC) curve to demonstrate the ability of the specific risk index to predict surgical complications and discharge to an assisted or skilled nursing facility. Frailty was added to the risk index scoring to demonstrate the combined ability of these indices to predict discharge disposition.
