Predictive Value of the Risk Assessment and Prediction Tool (RAPT) Score for Primary Hip and Knee Arthroplasty Patients: A Single-Center Study.

The Risk Assessment and Prediction Tool (RAPT) was developed to predict patient discharge destination for arthroplasty operations. However, since Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) programs have been utilized in the UK, the RAPT score has not been validated for use. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the predictive validity of the RAPT score in an ERAS environment with short length of stay.
