Background: Care Assessment of Need (CAN) scores predicting 90-day mortality and hospitalization are automatically computed each week for patients receiving care at Veterans Health Administration facilities. While currently used only by primary care teams for care coordination, we explored their value as a perioperative risk stratification tool before major elective surgery.
Methods: We collected relevant demographic and perioperative data along with perioperative CAN scores for veterans who underwent total knee replacement between July 2014 and December 2015.
