- DASI is best applied as a continuous, context-dependent measure.
- Using DASI as a binary threshold is less effective than a continuous approach.

Abstract
We congratulate Wijeysundera and colleagues1 for this rigorous pooled analysis refining perioperative functional capacity assessment. Their findings show that the 12-item Duke Activity Status Index (DASI) provides modest incremental prognostic value and is best applied as a continuous, context-dependent measure rather than a binary threshold.
