    Total knee replacement (TKR) surgery has a low post-operative mortality rate, but identifying high-risk patients remains challenging.

  • 2

    A prediction model for 90-day all-cause mortality following TKR could aid in clinical decision-making and target preventative interventions.

  • 3

    Current prediction models for post-operative outcomes after TKR have limitations, including lack of external validation and reliance on non-routinely collected data.

  • 4

    This study utilized observational healthcare databases from the UK and US to develop and validate a mortality prediction model for TKR patients.

  • 5

    The model development involved a comprehensive set of candidate predictors derived from pre-operative patient data to enhance predictive accuracy.
