Total hip/knee replacement |
Harris Hip Score/Knee Society Score |
Harris Hip Score (HHS) is a clinician-administered survey based on a 100-point scale to assess hip pain and function after surgery. Knee Society Score (KSS) is a validated 200-point scale to assess knee condition after surgical intervention.

Revision |
A reoperation due to mechanical or biological failure. Used as safety indicator registries.36–39
Widely accepted as a patient-centered outcome.
|
Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) |
Endoleak |
Continued perfusion and pressurization. Considered as an effectiveness outcome.40 41
20%–25% of EVAR procedures are complicated by endoleaks.42 43
Excluding type II, the cumulative endoleak rate is 5.67% at 2 years.26
|
30-day all-cause mortality |
Most frequently used primary outcome in major clinical trials such as EVAR 1, EVAR 2 and ACE.44–47
Mortality varies from 0.5% to 3.6%48 based on different studies and different EVAR grafts.40 41 49
|
Secondary vascular intervention |
Major indications: endoleak, graft migration, kinking of limb grafts, stenosis and occlusions, and landing site enlargement.50
Reintervention rates are 17% for intermediate follow-up (up to 4 years) and 23% for a longer term follow-up (beyond 4 years) with a median of 6 years.51

Total reoperation rate |
Reoperation due to postoperative complications and prolapse recurrence. Total 1-year reoperation rate is estimated to be 3%–4%.30–32
Estimates for longer term (1.5–5 years) vary between 8.5% and 13%.52 53

Mesh erosion |
One of the most frequently experienced safety issues related to vaginal mesh is the risk of vaginal-urethral erosion/extrusion. Factors contributing to erosion include operative technique, implant size, and the specific properties of the material (size, stiffness, elasticity and basic tissue compatibility, and so on).54
110 studies based on safety warning, issued by FDA in 2011: approximately 10% of women undergoing POP repair with mesh experienced mesh erosion within 1 year.17 55
