Outcome Importance Ratings & Rankings

Outcomes were first rated according by importance to patients, caregivers, and clinicians on a scale of 1 to 9 (1 to 3 limited importance, 4 to 6 important, 7 to 9 critical). To further focus the evidence synthesis, the task force then ranked the top 5 most important for each question displayed below as rankings.

Importance Ratings

Rankings of the 5 most important outcomes across all key questions

Rankings for the 5 most important outcomes across 5 key questions (11 respondents; maximum 55 for each outcome rank or any top 5 ranking). Other perioperative cognitive disorders includes neurocognitive disorder <30 days and neurocognitive disorder ≥30 days to 1 year. (Ordering can be changed by clicking on the column headers.)
