The rothman index as a predictor of post-discharge adverse events after elective spine surgery

The Rothman Index (RI) is a comprehensive rating of overall patient condition in the hospital setting. It is used at many medical centers and calculated based on vital signs, lab values, and nursing assessments in the electronic medical record. Past research has demonstrated an association with adverse events, readmission, and mortality in other fields, but it has not been investigated in spine surgery.
