SCI definitions

SCI featureSCI definitionSCI assigned score
Composite cardiac disease/dysfunction Coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, history of myocardial infarction, or left ventricular ejection fraction ≤ 50% OR atrial fibrillation or flutter, sick sinus syndrome, or ventricular arrhythmias OR valvular heart disease (except mitral valve prolapse) 
Moderate pulmonary dysfunction DLCo* or FEV1 66-80% or dyspnea on slight activity 
Age ≥ 60 y  
Severe pulmonary dysfunction DLCo* or FEV1 < 66 or dyspnea at rest/oxygen dependent 
Moderate to severe hepatic dysfunction Serum bilirubin > 1.5 times ULN; ALT or AST > 2.5 times ULN, or chronic hepatitis 
Mild renal dysfunction eGFR between 60 and 89.9 mL/min per 1.73 m2 
Moderate to severe renal dysfunction eGFR < 60 mL/min per 1.73 m2

ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; DLCo, diffusion capacity of the lung for CO; FEV1, forced expiratory volume in 1 second; ULN, upper limit of normal.

*

DLCo was corrected for hemoglobin using the formula of Cotes et al.49 

eGFR was calculated using the CKD-EPI equation of Levey et al.34
